Thirdly, the Congress will strive to identify opportunities and
mobilise support for specific action programmes related to heritage
conservation, to create synergies between World Heritage stakeholders
and to encourage the development of targeted partnerships for site
protection and presentation. Indeed, the overriding theme of the
Congress will be the quest for new partnerships for World Heritage,
involving non-governmental stakeholders, local and regional authorities,
financial institutions, the tourism industry, the media, public
membership programmes and especially young people – the decision-makers
of the future.
