In 2015, the United Nations launched its Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, a new plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity. The Agenda comprises 17 Sustainable Development Goals with 169 specific targets for all countries to aim for. The 17 SDGs include goals to eliminate poverty, ensure equality, reduce environmental impact, and create economic prosperity and jobs. Travel & Tourism is explicitly identified in three of the 169 targets, but its potential contribution to this new Agenda is much wider and the sector has a role to play in each of the 17 SDGs. WTTC endeavours to highlight this role throughout our activities, ensuring that the social benefits of the Travel & Tourism sector, as they relate to the SDGs, are identified and understood.
