The event is a follow up of the UfM Secretariat’s Brainstorming Meeting on Tourism, held on 30 November 2018 which aimed at setting up a regional platform for networks and experts on tourism in the region. In the 2017 UfM Roadmap for Action, the importance of tourism was acknowledged and the Secretariat was assigned to use its role as a regional platform to coordinate and promote initiatives and concrete projects related to tourism within UfM activities.
