LONDON, Jan. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Industry Advisory Board of the Global and Travel Tourism Partnership (GTTP) paid tribute to the foundation's 20 years of success in teaching more than 2 million high school and vocational college students about travel, tourism and hospitality careers as well as sustainability issues. The Board Members include senior executives from Amadeus, American Express, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Delta Airlines, dnata, Enterprise Holdings, Eurostar, The Hertz Corporation, Hogg Robinson Group, KDS, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and Travelport. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) also voiced its congratulations to the GTTP community.
With the input of its members, who represent a broad cross section of some of the major players in the travel and tourism industry, the work of the GTTP over the past two decades has equipped young people around the world with relevant understanding and insight into the industry. In turn, the industry benefits from more people coming through the school systems with better skills and expertise, enabling the continued growth of the sector, inclusive of imperatives around sustainability, and maintaining the world's assets for future generations.
To celebrate its 20th Anniversary, the GTTP plans a series of student and teacher events throughout the year in its member countries of Brazil, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Russia, South Africa, Tanzania, and the United Kingdom – and now also the Philippines, which joined the GTTP at the start of the year.
Taleb Rifai, Secretary-General, World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), said: "Tourism's true value is in its people. UNWTO, as the United Nations Specialized Agency for Tourism, would like to congratulate the Global Travel and Tourism Partnership for the immense contribution it has made over the last 20 years to tourism development by educating youth around the world on the potential of a career in tourism."
Remarks from GTTP Advisory Board Members to commemorate the 20th Anniversary include the following:
In conclusion, Dr. Nancy Needham, Executive Director of the Global Travel and Tourism Partnership, said: "The GTTP is very grateful for the support of our industry partners, which enables our Directors and teachers to serve more than 500,000 students in over 5,600 schools each year. Our industry partners have also hugely contributed to teacher training as well as the development of the GTTP's Passport to the World curriculum used in 13 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and South America."
In 2014 the World Travel and Tourism Council conducted important research that identified the scale of the gaps in Travel & Tourism talent across 46 countries. This shortfall in human capital could cost the global economy 14 million jobs and almost US$610 billion in GDP over the next ten years. This would be equivalent to lowering the level of total Travel & Tourism employment globally by 4% and global direct Travel & Tourism GDP by 5.5%.
