About the Forum

The Forum is aimed at strengthening the tourism ties of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) countries and ASEAN guest countries; it is held according to the Joint Action Plan (2024–2025) for the Tourism Sector of the SCO member countries.

The Forum has proved to be a useful tool for maintaining the exchange of opinions on tourism development among travel businesses, travel associations, destination management organizations, travel media, tech and educational institutions, and governmental authorities.

The 30+ speakers and participants from 30+ countries will further develop dialogue and understanding on the key questions of tourism among the hospitality and travel industry businesses, as well as other participants of the cross-border tourism exchange.

The participants and organizers of the key travel event in the SCO countries will form an integrated approach to the main topics of the Forum’s discussion and prepare the general reports and recommendations to offer to the SCO Secretariat, travel authorities of SCO and ASEAN countries, associations, and businesses, aimed at strengthening the united travel environment of the interested countries.
