A new partnership to promote Unesco world heritage sites has been launched with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Unesco and the New Zealand-based company GSP Our Place-World Heritage (GSP OP-WH Ltd). Under the partnership, GSP OP-WH Ltd and its international network of professional photographers will produce a series of books, television programmes and a website to promote awareness of heritage sites among the international public.
Photos of sites produced under the partnership will be included in a large databank and could be used to help promote conservation efforts and publicise the World Heritage message. Plans to support World Heritage projects and programmes are also underway through the creation of a trust to be established from a portion of the royalties the project generates.
