At the closing event of this convention held during November 6th–8th, 2012, at the Kyoto International Conference Hall, the Kyoto Vision was announced.
The Kyoto Vision, in English, stressed the importance of the local community's role in preserving World Heritage Sites and encouraged the local population's participation.
The Kyoto Vision's "Call for Action" included the following:
"To realize this Vision, the participants wish to launch an appeal to the international community with a view to enhancing cooperation and coordination among all stakeholders and ensuring effective involvement of local communities, indigenous peoples, experts and youth in conservation from the preparatory phase of the World Heritage nomination process, so that heritage conservation contributes to the sustainable development of the whole society;"
Our association also strives to work together with everyone to preserve and protect Amanohashidate as we strive for World Heritage status.
