Political and foreign policy considerations in Tourism

Based on Egdell, Sr. et al. (2008), I formulate the following agenda for discussion of Political and Foreign Policy considerations in Tourism:

1. Agreements and industry associations as related to Tourism [especially note (i) the United Nations World Tourism Organization, (ii) World Travel and Tourism Council, (iii) Carribean Tourism Organization and (iv) Southeast Tourism Society, etc]
2. Tourism facilitation
3. Tourism and foreign policy
4. Using tourism to promote peace and political stability
5. Using tourism to promote mutual trust and respect
