MADRID - Txylo -- Zurab Pololikashvili, current Secretary-General of UN Tourism will run for re-election for a new term in the period 2026-2029.
The UN Tourism Executive Council to select the candidates will be held between May 28 and 30, 2025. The Executive Council will then recommend to the General Assembly the person who will take charge of the General Secretariat in November 2025, in Saudi Arabia. The new mandate will be from 2026 to 2029.
Pololikashvili, 47, has experienced first-hand the recovery of tourism after Covid-19. This year, the recovery rate has reached 95%, comparing current levels with those of 2019, the year with the highest number of tourists in history. The reopening of China, one of the largest tourist markets on a global scale, has contributed to this recovery of the tourism sector.
