San Diego Declaration on Youth, Student and Educational Travel

The San Diego Declaration provides the basis for WYSE Travel Confederation’s work with international organisations, governments, sector stakeholders and other NGOs in furthering the cause of global youth travel.

At the invitation of the Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), it was presented to the 94th Session of the UNWTO Executive Council in October 2012 and was adopted by the 20th UNWTO General Assembly in August 2013.

WYSE Travel Confederation invites you to read and share this declaration. We are calling for industry backing as it is debated by the world’s tourism authorities and we look forward to working with all industry stakeholders on implementing the recommendations in the years ahead.

In order to maximise the declaration’s reach, WYSE Travel Confederation would also like to appeal to members and other interested parties for assistance in translating the declaration into as many languages as possible.
