Julia Kleber, CEO of the KLEBER GROUP, receiving the Affiliate Member Certificate from Ion Vilcu, Director of the Department for Affiliate Members and Public-Private Collaboration at UN Tourism, during the UN Tourism General Assembly 2025 in Riyadh.
Zurich, 10 November 2025 – The KLEBER GROUP is delighted to announce that it is now an official Affiliate Member of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
As an internationally operating PR and communications agency with an innovative approach to public relations, trade, and MICE within the tourism sector, the KLEBER GROUP has long been committed to sustainable development, global connectivity, and the promotion of responsible tourism initiatives – including Voice4Africa by KLEBER GROUP and RethinkingAfrica. Becoming part of the UNWTO’s global network underscores this commitment and opens up new opportunities for international cooperation and knowledge exchange.
Our CEO, Julia Kleber, attended the UNWTO General Assembly in Riyadh in person, where the KLEBER GROUP’s admission as an Affiliate Member was officially confirmed.
“We are both honored and motivated to be part of this global network. Membership in the UNWTO opens up new pathways for us – and therefore for our partners and clients worldwide – to drive innovation in tourism and to take responsibility for our industry,” says Julia Kleber.
“Tourism is far more than travel – it is a key economic sector that creates millions of jobs, strengthens local value creation and makes a significant contribution to global GDP. This is precisely why we see it as our mission to actively foster communication and cooperation in the tourism sector and to contribute to resilient and sustainable economic development,” says Julia Kleber.
Affiliate membership enables the KLEBER GROUP to actively participate in international UNWTO projects and initiatives, gain access to exclusive networks, and further expand its role as a communicative bridge-builder between destinations, institutions, and the global travel industry.
