$Ms KIM Boseul, Official, International Affairs, Islands Culture Diversity Network representing the Best Tourism Village of Purple Island (Republic of Korea)<br/>Kim Boseul is currently the public official in charge of international affairs at Islands Culture Diversity Network, located in the Republic of Korea. At the same time, she is an academic researcher of geography discipline. In Shinan, to which The Purple Island, one of the Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO belongs, she is taking the initiative of drafting an islands\' worldwide manifesto in an effort to form a collective voice that speaks about island ideas and cultures. As a geography researcher, she is interested in translocalism, which point to an individual’s ability to experience social relations that are located in distant places. To her, this is one of the lenses to look at the future of rural development and to suggest the sustainability and multiculturalism in it.<br/>$	KIM Boseul Panelist

Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO

Best Practices for Rural Development

The Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO initiative promotes sustainable tourism for rural development. It recognizes outstanding villages that practice tourism development in harmony with their sociocultural, economic, and environmental resources while nurturing sustainable livelihoods in rural communities. Two Best Tourism Villages recognized by UNWTO in 2021 will present their good practices and engage in a dialogue with the audience, sharing their experience and strategies to make tourism a driver of development in rural areas. Valposchiavo, Switzerland will introduce its ‘100% Valposchiavo’ project, an initiative that connects all local actors of the value chain, while Purple Island, Republic of Korea, will give insights on its project aimed at rejuvenating the island through tourism. Meet these and other Best Tourism Villages at: https://www.unwto.org/tourism-villages/en/villages/.
