The role of tourism in peacebuilding was discussed at a forum in Baku
Within the framework of the VII World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue, a panel session was held discussing tourism's contribution to peacebuilding through inclusivity, equality and the leadership of local communities.
A panel session titled "Tourism for a common future: how inclusivity, equality and local community leadership contribute to peacebuilding" has been organized in Baku as part of the VII World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue. The Trend agency reported on the event.
The session focused on the role of tourism not only as a source of economic income, but also as a means of building dialogue between societies. The discussions emphasized the importance of local communities' participation in tourism decision-making processes, as well as the equal distribution of tourism benefits among broader population groups.
The forum demonstrates Baku's position as an international event venue: such gatherings bring a flow of guests to the city and create a short-term revival in the hotel and catering sector. The topics discussed — local community, inclusivity, equality — are directly relevant to guesthouses and small family businesses.
