It has evolved beyond major sporting events into a more transversal model that includes active and outdoor tourism, amateur sport, and new experiences linked to sports communities and fans. This evolution has expanded its territorial impact, enabling emerging destinations, rural areas and local communities to benefit from sport as a catalyst for economic and social development, while reinforcing the need for more sustainable and inclusive models.

This monthly publication will keep you updated on the latest news, events, and initiatives related to your membership and the Affiliate Members network. Also included is the provisional calendar of events for 2026, featuring key UN Tourism events. Only a few weeks ago, several Affiliate Members from all over the world were actively engaged in FITUR 2026, the leading international tourism fair in Madrid, Spain. FITUR opened 2026 by confirming the strong momentum of the global tourism sector, surpassing 255,000 visitors over its five days. This favourable context is reflected in 2025 figures, a year in which, according to UN Tourism, international tourist arrivals worldwide exceeded 1.5 billion. I would like to extend our sincere thanks to all Affiliate Members who participated in and supported the dedicated activities organized by the Affiliate Members and Public‑Private Collaboration Department (AM‑PPC). These included: Affiliate Members Corner: “Cross-Sector Value in Tourism” , which brought together diverse perspectives on how collaboration across industries can enhance tourism competitiveness and innovation presented by expert Affiliate Members in their respective tourism sectors. Launch of the publication A Guide for the Development of Astrotourism , produced by UN Tourism in collaboration with the Affiliate Member Starlight Foundation, highlighting practical strategies for developing sustainable and educational astrotourism experiences. We continue to see a very positive response to the new tools available on AMConnected+, including the mobile app now accessible on both iOS and Android. I encourage all Affiliate Members to stay active on the platform, where you can access resources, explore collaboration opportunities, and contribute to shaping the future of tourism together. The Affiliate Members and Public‑Private Collaboration Department remains fully committed to supporting your initiatives and strengthening partnerships across our network.
