Why would or should any individual without or very little tourism experience be appointed to head and lead the World Tourism Organization? (UNWTO) Here is a case from a man moving from Banker & Football Club Executive To Tourism’s Top Post – may be! It ordinarily takes a large amount of experience, talent, and industry recognition to become a candidate for global tourism’s top job, Secretary-General of the UNWTO. Last May in Madrid, the UNWTO Executive Council, in the first round of the Secretary-General ballot process, gave 3 votes to Mr. Jaime Alberto Cabal (Colombia), 7 votes to Ms. Young-shim Dho (Republic of Korea), 4 votes to Mr. Márcio Favilla (Brazil), 11 votes to Mr. Walter Mzembi (Zimbabwe) and 8 votes to Mr.Zurab Pololikashvili (Georgia).
