UNWTO und WiseKey werden Technologiepartner


Die Fachpresse meldet die geplanze Zusammenarbeit zwischen UMWTO und dem Technologieunternehmen WiseKey bei der Schaffung e-Tourism Social Network aufbauend auf der bestehenden Zusammenarbeit mit Microsoft.

Geplant ist scheinbar ein weltweites Netzwerk von Touristikern und Reisenden, daß durch Digitale Identifikationstechniken eine sichere und glaubwürdige Kommunikation untereinander ermöglicht.

The U.N. World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and WISeKey announced an agreement to expand the use of traveler identification and authentication technologies in the multibillion dollar tourism sector. This collaboration builds on the public private partnership agreement signed by UNWTO and Microsoft in 2006. The partners will seek to deliver YouTourist as an e-Tourism Social Network (www.youTourist.net). Based on WiseKey Digital Identification and Microsoft Cardspace technologies, this platform allows tourist to connect with one another to exchange information based on the UNWTO's Global Code of Ethics for Tourism.
The Code is a blueprint for safeguarding the resources upon which tourism depends, ensuring that its benefits are equitably shared in the spirit of the Millennium Development Goals. YouTourist will encourage tourist exchanges of pictures, videos, and comments and give special communication opportunities for local communities and travel companies involved in the whole chain of tourism development. Digital Identification for secure participation will be a key element. The Trusted Social Network for the Tourism Industry will inter connect to the global information infrastructure provided by agencies offering e-Tourism Services. It will federate participating agencies into a global e-Tourism Portal using Single Sign On technologies. For more information, visit www.unwto.org.
