The mandate mentioned in the question is commonly associated with the World Tourism Organization (WTO), which was established by the United Nations in 1975 to promote responsible, sustainable, and universally accessible tourism as a means of fostering economic growth, job creation, poverty reduction, and cultural exchange. The WTO is now known as the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). Option B (United Nations Tourism Organization) and Option C (Global Tourism Organization) are not correct as such entities do not exist. Option D (World Travel and Tourism Council) is a private sector organization that represents the global travel and tourism industry; while it works closely with the UNWTO on various initiatives, it is not responsible for the promotion and development of tourism as a whole.
