The Ministry of Tourism supports the Minister of Tourism at Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) Tourism Ministerial Meetings and contributes to the work of the APEC Tourism Working Group.
The APEC Tourism Working Group is guided by the APEC Tourism Charter which reflects a collective commitment to improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of APEC through tourism.
The Charter has four goals:
- Removal of impediments to tourism business and investment.
- Increase mobility of visitors and demand for tourism goods and services.
- Sustainable management of tourism outcomes and impacts (chaired by New Zealand).
- Enhance recognition and understanding of tourism as a vehicle for economic and social development.
The APEC Tourism Working Group meets twice a year. APEC Tourism Ministers' Meetings are held every two years.
