To advance the education of individuals or communities in less developed countries in subjects relating to tourism and its sustainable development and to promote study and research in such subjects in order to build capacity and promote community development. To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged communities of LDCs in such a way that they are better able to identify, and meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
