The UNWTO Election just killed any decency left in the UN System January 20, 2021 Today the 113th Executive Council of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) re-elected its current Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili with a wide margin of 76% against the only incumbent HE Ms. Shaikha Mai Bint Mohammed Al Khalifa from Bahrain. This UNWTO election was not about good or bad achievements, the vision, or activities by an UN-affiliated agency the tourism world is looking for to lead. It was about the selfishness of one single person and winning the election no matter how. To add insult and injury to an already upsetting situation, in Madrid, both the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, and His Majesty King Felipe VI expressed their support for UNWTO and its leadership. The Foreign Minister from Georgia sponsored the official dinner the night before the election.
