Sustainable tourism must contribute, at one and the same time, to economic development and social progress, and environmental protection and enhancement, while minimizing its negative impacts.
In relation to this, UNESCO Office, Jakarta endeavours to assist member states of the cluster in preparing their policies while reconsidering the relationship between tourism and cultural diversity and between tourism and development, whilst protecting the tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
