World Tourism Day

Happy World's Tourism Day!

Tourism has experienced continuing growth and deeper diversification to become one among the quickest growing economic sectors in the world. ‎Modern tourism is closely connected to development and includes a lot of new destinations for tourists. These dynamics turned tourism into a key driver for socio-‎economic progress.‎ Tourism has become one of the major players in ‎international commerce, and represents at the same time one of the main income ‎sources for many developing countries.

The United Nations’ World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) decided in late September 1979 to institute World Tourism Day, which was first celebrated on September 27, 1980. September 27 was chosen as the date for World Tourism Day because that date coincided with an important milestone in world tourism: the anniversary of the adoption of the UNWTO Statutes on September 27, 1970.

The UNWTO believes that the date for World Tourism Day is suitable because it comes at the end of the high tourist season in the northern hemisphere and also the begin of the tourist season in the southern hemisphere, when tourism is of topical interest to many people worldwide, significantly travelers and those working in the tourism sector. Each year has a completely different theme – for example, “Tourism – Celebrating Diversity” was designated as the theme for 2009, with Ghana as the event’s host country for that year.
