GoUNESCO

GoUNESCO is an UNESCO supported umbrella of initiatives that make heritage more engaging. Started in January 2012 by Ajay Reddy as a travel challenge with the goal of visiting all world heritage sites in India, GoUNESCO now has grown to a multitude of initiatives. GoUNESCO Challenges promote heritage tourism and understanding. Participants in count... ry challenges are challenged to visit all World Heritage Sites in a country in one calendar year.
