Alula framework for inclusive community development through tourism

It suggests G20 countries take the lead in adopting the Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (MST) to monitor tourism sustainability.

The Framework aims at advancing the contribution of tourism as an effective means towards fairer growth and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It is addressed to national governments in G20 countries, yet it provides guidance and inspiration to all governments as well as all other key stakeholders in the tourism sector – regional and local governments, the private sector, industry associations, civil society, communities and tourists. It aims at fostering a truly holistic and integrated approach to inclusive community development through tourism in line with the following objectives:

· Empowering People: creating conditions in which all people, especially women and youth, can live, work and thrive

· Protecting the Planet: fostering collective efforts to protect our commons.

· Shaping New Frontiers: adopt long-term and bold strategies to utilize and share the benefits of innovation
