TOURISM ORGANIZATIONS
INTRODUCTION: The international organizations are superior forms of association
between the states on the basis of a joint agreement of cooperation (status, pact, charter,
convention) in order to achieve specific objectives through a judicious, continous and
steady coordination of resources and actions of Member States.
”the international organizations are relatively new elements of the global system. They
came into existence during the nineteenth century, they became important during the
next century, and by 1945 their number has increased significantly, especially at regional
and subregional levels” (Popa & Sarcinschi, 2007).
TOURISM ORGANIZATIONS
The reasons that have led and will further lead to the development and
diversification of international organizations are related to a number of factors,
mainly:
 The need for security and the need to prevent wars.
 The diversification of relations and manifestation of commercial, financial and
technological interdependencies etc.
 the need to address global challenges arising from population growth, increasing
poverty, food security, environmental damage, the fight against terrorism etc.
TOURISM ORGANIZATIONS
Therefore, we can say that tourism as a social, economic, environmental and cultural
phenomenon, has a wide variety of international organizations to ensure its
sustainability and development.
Recognizing that this phenomenon is involved in different global aspects that require
the participation of governments and leaders in different areas, this will guarantee its
viability around the possible connections and alliances that help good practices and
decision-making which involve all sectors and participants in the tourism fields.
