On Jan. 16, 2018 in Madrid, a reception was hosted in Madrid by Ambassadors from Middle-East countries to the Kingdom of Spain, in honor of outgoing UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai. 
Amb. Dho Young-shim, Chairperson of the UNWTO Foundation and UN SDGs Advocate, took this opportunity to offer a book prepared by the ST-EP Foundation not only as a tribute to Dr. Rifai but also a legacy to the future generations.

Bound with traditional Korean techniques, and illustrated by French artist Jean Berthelot-Kleck, the book is a collection of keynote speeches delivered by Dr. Rifai during the period 2010-2017, with the purpose to provide the youth with a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration, and to encourage them to play an active role in the the world tourism community, not only as responsible travelers but also as committed professionals.
