SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 31, 2024 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 31, 2024 – UN Tourism has achieved a significant milestone in integrating the tourism sector into the broader United Nations agenda with a new dataset on tourism employment. This dataset provides robust evidence to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Addressing a Critical Gap in SDG Monitoring

Tourism plays a crucial role in supporting the UN's 2030 Agenda, explicitly mentioned in Goal 8 on economic growth and decent work, Goal 12 on sustainable consumption and production, and Goal 14 on the sustainable use of oceans.

While global monitoring has primarily focused on tourism's economic contribution through the "Tourism Direct GDP" indicator, particularly concerning the promotion of sustainable tourism that creates jobs (Target 8.9), there has been a critical data gap regarding tourism's role as a global employment generator.
