ISSUES
What kind of issues are involved?
These can be divided into regulatory issues, giving rise to Treaties and Conventions (eg the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control regulating the use and promotion of tobacco products) - and industry issues, such as health promotion, combating the commercial sexual exploitation of children, traveller safety and security, sustainable development of tourism and the environment.
Typically, regulatory issues are the focus of governments and industry issues of the private sector - although the distinction between the two kinds of issues is often blurred, particularly in an era of escalating regulation.

Issues currently on the IH&RA radar screen as well as those under scrutiny by a Global Council.
