Union Minister for Hotels and Tourism Dr Htay Aung joined the Asia-Pacific re­gional meeting relating to the International Code for the Protection of Tourists or­ganized by the World Tourism Organization in Spain online yesterday.

 

During the meeting, the Union Minister said the country sets the policies, laws and frameworks to offer the best services to local and for­eign visitors. The tours are being conducted as per the COVID-19 health rules of the Ministry of Health. The gov­ernment also makes efforts to gain back the trust of travel­lers and develop the tourism industry in the post-COVID-19 period.

 

As the International Code for the Protection of Tourists of World Tourism Organiza­tion can protect the travellers more, it can achieve the trust of tourists, and the member countries also adopt these codes in a widespread manner.

 

The meeting by the World Tourism Organization aims to provide assistance to the member countries in resum­ing the tourism industry and revive the international code and legal framework for the protection of tourists. — MNA
