Dear Mr. Kuningas

On behalf of the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE), I would

like to thank you for your letter dated 26 September 2024 informing us of Estonia’s financial

contribution to the Tourism Committee's Programme of Work for the year 2025-26.

I look forward to working closely with you and other members to pursue the

development of OECD activities on tourism, and assisting at best countries with the design and

implementation of effective tourism strategies to address the challenges facing the tourism

economy and promote a strong and sustainable future for the sector. In this context, Ms. Jane

Stacey, Head of Tourism Unit, and I would be pleased to explore bilateral collaboration and see

how we can better support your tourism agenda.

Your support and active participation in the Tourism Committee are important to

accomplish the activities, and for this, we are very grateful.

Please accept the expression of my highest consideration.
