Dal sito del WTO ho trovato alcune importanti notizie che interessano la rete internet e il mondo del turismo. Infatti, è in atto un progetto di realizzazione di una piattaforma mutimediale per condividere foto e video che descrivono luoghi e paesaggi, dove condividere esperienze e mostrare le propie vacanze al resto del mondo… è in arrivo www.youtourist.com

Vi cito testualmente le parole utilizzate per descrivere il progetto:
Geoffrey Lipman Assistant Secretary-General of UNWTO said «the time is right to take advantage of new technologies to advance the UNWTO Global Code of Ethics. The explosion of social networks fits perfectly with the spirit of the responsible and sustainable tourism that we are seeking to encourage.»

YouTourist will encourage tourist exchanges of pictures, videos, and comments and give special communication opportunities for local communities and travel companies involved in the whole chain of tourism development. Crosscutting areas in poverty alleviation can be greatly aided by introducing the type of technology available for travel industry Trusted Social Networks. Digital Identification for secure participation will be a key element.

Carlos Moreira CEO of WISeKey quoted: «We are truly in support of the UNWTO Code of Ethics. In the years to come ‘Sustainable Tourism’ will be the only way out and emerging economies expect from as global players like us that we contribute to close the gap for the benefit of everyone. The link between WISeKey’s leading edge secure digital identification and UNWTO’s Global Code of Ethics brings a new dimension to the concept of trusted travel.»

The Trusted Social Network for the Tourism Industry will inter connect to the global information infrastructure provided by agencies offering e-Tourism Services. It will federate participating agencies into a global e-Tourism Portal using Single Sign On technologies.
