18 See E/4750/ Add.!. General AHembly-Twenty-fourth Session

Believes that a formula that would allow agree ment to be reached more readily among Govcrn1;1cnts for the establishment of an international tourism organization of an intergovernmental character, particularly to assist the developing countries, would be:

The conversion of the International Union of Official Travel Organizations into an intergovernmental organization through a revision of its statutes;

The establishment of operational links between the United Nations and the transformed Union by means of a formal agreement;

Takes note of the recommendation contained in resolution XXI/5 of the General Assembly of the International Union of Official Travel Organizations requesting the President of the Union to entrust a working group with the preparation of its draft revised statutes, bearing in mind the principles laid down by the General Assembly of the Union at its twentieth session, held in Tokyo in October 1967, and by the Intergovernmental Conference on Tourism, held at Sofia in May 1969, and to convene an extraordinary General Assembly of the Union to draw up and adopt the statutes of an interg-:wernmental organization;

Recommends those States whose national official tourist organizations are members of the Union to take joint action at its forthcoming extraordinary General Assembly to amend the statutes of the Union in order to give the organization an intergovernmental character;

Invites States whose national official tourist organizations are members of the Union to approve and adopt, in accordance with their respective internal procedures, the procedure outlined in paragraph 1 above for the creation of an i,1ternational tourism organization of an intergovernmental character amL accordingly, to give the necessary instmctions and powers to their representatives to the Union;

Decides that, once the statutes of the l Jn ion have been changed:

An agreement between the United Nations and the Union should be concluded which would establish close co-operation and relationships between the United Nations and the transformed Union, define the modalities of such co-operation and relationships and recognize the decisive and central role that the Union is to play in the field of world tourism in co-operation with the existing machinery within the United Nation";
