Opportunity for Innovators and Entrepreneurs – Solutions Sought for Recovery of Tourism from Coronavirus Consequences

Facing the challenge of COVID-19, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO), has opened an invitation to innovators and entrepreneurs to propose new solutions for the recovery of the tourism sector from COVID-19.

The fact is that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, millions of jobs are at risk worldwide, as tourism has been struck harder than any other sector. The UNWTO has therefore included innovations in its response to the pandemic, the Montenegrin Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism announced.

This global call for entrepreneurs and innovators asks them to submit ideas that can help the tourism sector mitigate the impact of the pandemic and kickstart recovery efforts, the UNWTO says.

The winners of the Healing Solutions for Tourism Challenge will be invited to pitch their ideas to representatives of more than 150 governments They will also enjoy access to the UNWTO Innovation Network, which includes hundreds of start-ups and leading businesses from across the tourism sector.

Applications close on April 10, and more information can be found HERE.
