Since 2006, the UNWTO has convened the Asia/Pacific Executive Training Program on Tourism Policy and Strategy. This high level executive training program provides a platform for policy makers to get together for exchanging ideas on current tourism issues.

Through a series of lectures, group discussions, debates, and presentations, the training program seeks to provide a forum to assist public sector tourism executives in gaining a better understanding of the latest trends in tourism management and provides a knowledge and experience-sharing platform on good practices in successful policy and strategy formulation and implementation.
