The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has been working towards preventing all forms of exploitation affecting children and youth in tourism through its Task Force for the Protection of Children in Tourism since 1997 (since 2001, the Network for the Protection of Children in Tourism). This open-ended platform held almost 30 international meetings, providing an indispensable forum for the exchange of research, experiences and awareness raising on the most significant projects on child protection in tourism. The UNWTO strongly encourages the collaboration with the private sector since the whole sector needs to work in synergy if we are to contribute to the elimination of all forms of child exploitation. This publication is a testimony of some of the successful projects and good practices shared within the Network during the past decade.
