World Tourism Day - September 27

 

World Tourism Day is celebrated every year by the United Nations World Tourism Organization since  September 27,1980

This date was chosen to be so because, on that day in 1970, the Statutes of the UNWTO were adopted.

The aim of the day is to raise awareness about the role of tourism and to focus on the fact that travelling has a major social, cultural, political and economic effect on all of our lives

The theme was "Sustainable Tourism" in 2017

 

 In 2018, it was "Tourism and the Digital Transformation"

 

 The theme for 2019 is "Tourism and Jobs — A Better Future For All"
