UNWTO Launches Shopping Tourism Network

Following the great interest generated by the UNWTO Global Report on Shopping Tourism and the 1st UNWTO Conference on Shopping Tourism, UNWTO launched the UNWTO Shopping Tourism Network.

The initiative was presented to UNWTO Members during a working Lunch, held on the side-lines of the Assembly. During the event, the Network action plan for 2016 was defined, and UNWTO Affiliate Members Innova Taxfree and Value Retail presented their shopping tourism related work and activities.

The Shopping Tourism Network will act as a forum within the UNWTO Affiliate Members Program in which participants will be able to interact, share and access information related to this growing tourism segment and tap in on the huge potential of Shopping Tourism to position tourist destinations.
