For several years now, ICOMOS and the OWHC have had excellent relations. On the occasion of the ICOMOS 2019 Annual General Assembly, which took place in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Memorandum of Understanding between ICOMOS and the OWHC was renewed.

Among other things, the CIVVIH (International Committee of Historic Towns and Villages) will continue its involvement as a jury member for the OWHC Jean-Paul-L’Allier Prize for Heritage and the two organizations will collaborate in the field of tourism.
