First ‘UNWTO Depository Library’ in town

The Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT) Multimedia Library has recently become the first World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Depository Library in Macau.
Launched by UNWTO in 2003, the Depository Library program aims to foster access to research findings and reports which are published by UNWTO to a public audience.
Currently there are approximately 60 libraries in 30 countries and regions that have joined the program and are listed as depository libraries.
According to a press release issued yesterday by IFT, the library will receive all UNWTO’s official English publications and will be accessible to the public to provide a broad range of complete tourism-related information to support research in tourism for Macau and neighboring regions.
IFT Multimedia Library also welcomes those affiliated with other higher education institutions to borrow books and publications with their Macau Academic Library Alliance Card. Practitioners within the tourism and hotel industries are eligible to apply for an Industry Library Membership in order to borrow resources from the Library, while scholars and researchers are welcome to use the resources on site through application.
