 * February 4-6** [|World Conference on Tourism and Culture]

About the event: The UNWTO/UNESCO World Conference on Tourism and Culture aims to be a milestone in the collaboration between tourism and culture. For the first time, Ministers of Tourism and Ministers of Culture from all regions of the world will gather at this global forum to explore the different roles and mandates to advance sustainable cultural tourism, and foster ways to build a new paradigm of collaboration. This will be a unique opportunity for policy-makers, experts and practitioners in culture and tourism to meet and identify the opportunities and challenges of developing ‘new’ models of partnership between the two sectors – working together to realize the immense potential of cultural tourism to build inclusive economic growth, social development and cultural preservation. Hosted by the Kingdom of Cambodia in Siem Reap – Angkor Wat from 4 to 6 February 2015, the Conference will count on the presence of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Baromneath Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia and Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
