Recommendation 52
52
Acknowledged
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)
Government Response Summary
The government accepts the recommendation to encourage other Antarctic Treaty Parties to ratify critical unimplemented measures for tourism regulation, but does not detail how it plans to do so.
