TPO Forum is to discuss topical issues in the tourism industry and to share knowledge and experiences among working-level officials of member cities. The first TPO Forum was held in Busan in May 2004 under the theme of “The Trend of Asia-Pacific Tourism Markets & Counter-measuring Strategies.” In line with Forum, a Joint Symposium of the TPO-UNESCAP was held. The event was the first cooperative project with another international organization. The TPO Forum and the TPO General Assembly are held alternatively, every other year.
The 9th TPO Forum, scheduled from August 28 to 30, 2024, in Sanya, China, we are certain that this highly anticipated event promises to be a meaningful opportunity to share valuable information and insights, as it will be the first TPO Forum in six years, after the pandemic.
