The UNWTO aims to empower indigenous communities to drive tourism recovery. — SAMUEL ONG/The Star

Google and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) have partnered on a multi-pronged strategy to help the global travel and tourism industry recover through digital innovation.

Both organisations will host training sessions for destination management organisations using a new curriculum developed by Google. These sessions will empower destinations to switch to the digital platform, with the training adapted to reflect their specific circumstances and the unique challenges every destination currently faces.
