Following those conferences, researchers from several worldwide leading academic institutions and UNWTO Affiliate Members, under the leadership of the World Centre of Excellence for Destinations (CED), launched the Tourism and Culture Initiatives Online Global Registry, a joint research initiative whose goals are to:

• Enhance awareness and visibility for tourism and culture initiatives conducted by local and regional destination stakeholders.
• Develop and disseminate knowledge in the field of tourism and culture synergies

We would like to invite you and your contacts in the tourism industry to participate in the Registry. Please reach out to organizations and pertinent actors who may not be aware of this exciting project. Tourism and Culture initiatives are broad and varied. They may, for example, include traditional national or religious celebrations, commemorative events, native culture celebrations, patrimonial initiatives, etc. The Registry represents an unmatched opportunity for local and regional initiatives to increase their local, national, and global visibility. Registration is free.
