UN Tourism to Use Electronic Voting System for Key Meetings

New Voting System for UN Tourism

In a tweet, UN Tourism announced that it will use a new electronic voting system for all the key statutory meetings and other meetings of its Governing Bodies. Under an agreement announced during the 121st session of the UN Tourism Executive Council, the United Arab Emirates will sponsor the implementation and maintenance of a mobile application-integrated platform.

The platform will include an electronic voting system for the organisation that would be available at the meetings of its Governing Bodies (the General Assembly and the Executive Council) and its subsidiary organs.

The app will also offer other features such as documentation management, online registration process, and interactive communication between participants, among other features.

The adoption of the new electronic platform sponsored by UAE further underscores UN Tourism’s commitment to the digital transformation of every part of the tourism ecosystem, as well as its ongoing focus on promoting innovation and modernising its processes.
