Topic: Balancing Tourism with Local Cultural Preservation
Committee Profile
In UNESCO, we will explore and create solutions regarding tourism and its implications on countries’ economies, culture, and locals. Delegates will discuss the importance of sustainable tourism, to bring in visitors without compromising cultural heritage, and formulate solutions on how to implement these frameworks, prevent further exploitation, and put the power back into the hands of local communities.
