Slovenia Elected to UN Tourism Executive Board for the First Time

Slovenia Elected to UN Tourism Executive Board for the First Time

At the 71st session of the UN Tourism Commission for Europe, currently underway in Baku, Azerbaijan, Slovenia achieved a significant milestone by being elected to the Executive Council of UN Tourism for the 2025–2029 term. This marks the first time in history that Slovenia will serve on this key decision-making body.

The Commission for Europe (CEU) serves as the highest regional coordination platform within UN Tourism, one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations. During this session, elections were held for several governing bodies, including the Executive Council. Slovenia’s election will be officially confirmed at the General Assembly in the autumn.

The Executive Council plays a crucial role in shaping the organization’s strategic direction. It oversees the implementation of the General Assembly’s decisions, receives activity reports from the Secretary-General, reviews work programmes, and ensures that UN Tourism functions efficiently within its budget. The Council is composed of member states elected in a ratio of one per every five full members, with fair geographic representation as a guiding principle. It meets twice a year.

Slovenia’s election is not only a recognition of its active role in sustainable and responsible tourism but also a powerful opportunity to contribute to global tourism development at the highest level.
