A new event is about to begin in Pokémon Go and with it brings new Shiny Pokémon into the popular mobile game.
Niantic is partnering with World Tourism Organization as one of its global Affiliate Members network to support innovation in the tourism sector by identifying trends and new ways of traveling in a digital world.
"At our General Assembly, UNWTO expressed its commitment to embracing technology and innovation in order to make our sector more sustainable, more inclusive and a real driver of social and economic change," said Zurab Pololikashvili, UNWTO Secretary-General in a press release. "This exciting new partnership with Niantic will help us meet these goals. I warmly welcome them into our Affiliate Members network and I am confident UNWTO and Niantic can work together to help transform the way we travel and better promote the many benefits of responsible tourism."
"We're excited to be part of UNWTO's global Affiliate Members network where together, we'll be able to expand our collective goal of promoting global tourism through the use of innovative technologies," said Anne Beuttenmüller, Niantic's Head of Marketing in Europe in a press release. " Real world games have proven to have an incredible impact on cities and communities around the world and we're honored to help raise awareness by providing Trainers in Pokémon GO access to a new in-game UNWTO shirt for their avatars to kick off World Tourism Day 2019."
