Urgent Help! Delegates attending UNWTO General Assembly



Are you attending the UNWTO General Assembly in beautiful St. Petersburg, Russia next week? The United States is expected to join the UN specialized agency. Would you want to become an expert informer for eTurboNews. (named or anonymous)?

Marcelo Risi, Chief of UNWTO Communications did not respond to eTurboNews many requests to provide an authorization for our publisher and Russian speaking eTN reporter to attend.

No responses by UNWTO seems to be the routine since Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili took office on January 1, 2018
