The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) have launched a new tourism task force aimed at positioning tourism as a key engine of economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean by strengthening ties between the public and private sectors.
The establishment of the task force was announced during a meeting with the America's Business Dialogue, a private sector-led initiative facilitated by the IDB that promotes a high-level dialogue between governments and the private sector in the region to advance development-focused policies.
This strategic partnership between the IDB and WTTC outlines a roadmap to shape public policy recommendations, mobilise investment, and scale solutions that benefit communities and tourism destinations.
