The Goa Roadmap for Tourism as a Vehicle for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, welcomed at the G20 Tourism Ministers’ Meeting 2023 held in the scenic tourism destination of Goa, India, aims to provide national governments in the G20 countries and beyond, as well as other tourism actors with voluntary tools and recommendations to leverage the sector’s capability to progress the SDGs. It seeks to support a safer, healthier, more sustainable and equitable future while taking into account national circumstances, needs and priorities.
Guided by the five interconnected priority areas of the Tourism Working Group under India’s G20 Presidency, the Roadmap builds on the efforts of the G20 Tourism Working Group in the past three years – starting with the AlUla Framework for Inclusive Community Development Through Tourism and the Safe and Seamless Travel and Improved Traveler Experience under the Saudi Presidency, along with the G20 Rome Guidelines for the Future of Tourism, as well as the Principles for the Transition to a Green Travel And Tourism Economy under the Italian Presidency. In addition to the more recent G20 Bali Guidelines Strengthening Communities and MSME as Tourism Transformation Agents – A People Centered Recovery which was developed under the Indonesian Presidency in 2022.
The Roadmap lays out a set of key enablers, identifies the inclusion of tourism in national SDGs agendas, proposes recommendations and features case studies emphasizing advances in place among G20 members and guest countries.
The document highlights the opportunities for governments and stakeholders to work jointly, as per their national circumstances, needs and priorities, to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs.
