Name	Final Report of the First Meeting of the UNESCO /UNITWIN Network “Culture, Tourism and Development”
Short Description	A First Meeting of the UNESCO /UNITWIN Network "Culture, Tourism and Development" : "Sustainable development and the optimizing of cultural diversity: how well is tourism education adapting to these new challenges?" took place on 18 March 2005 at UNESCO-HQ, Paris.
Long Description	Given the magnitude of the stakes in sustainable tourism development, the international academic community has a duty to take them into account in its study programmes and to initiate appropriate training so as to limit their negative effects and optimize their positive factors. Universities that teach tourism and place a core emphasis on culture and sustainable development can make a real contribution here, especially those belonging to the UNESCO / UNITWIN "Culture, Tourism and Development" network. UNESCO should now loom larger in the world of tourism, circulating both original ideas shaped by its principles and normative tools that can thus be made more operational. New partnerships have already been suggested between universities, and between UNESCO and specialist bodies, reviews and networks; and it is hoped that more UNESCO international conferences on cultural tourism issues will be held, with close cooperation in the future between the UNESCO Chairs network and UNESCO partners, notably the International Council of Museums (ICOM), the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM).
