Recommendation 52
52
Encourage all Parties to ratify unimplemented measures critical for strengthening Antarctic tourism regulation framework.
Conclusion
The UK should encourage all Parties to the Antarctic Treaty System to ratify unimplemented measures critical to tourism regulation, including Measure 4 (2004) on insurance and contingency planning, and Measure 15 (2009) on landings. Their adoption would significantly strengthen the regulatory framework and ensure greater consistency across operators. (Recommendation, Paragraph 226)
