World Tourism Day
 

World Tourism Day 2022 is celebrated on 27 September, every year. The date marks the anniversary of the adoption of the Statutes of the Organization in 1970, paving the way for the establishment of UNWTO five years later.

 

The purpose of celebrating this day is to increase tourism internationally and spread awareness.

 

World Tourism Day is celebrated as the shift towards tourism is being recognized as a crucial pillar for development and as progress is well underway. May 2022 marked the first time the United Nations General Assembly held a special debate on tourism, illustrating the historic relevance of the sector. Tourism is now on the agenda of governments and of international organizations in every global region.

 

The theme of this year is " Rethinking Tourism". It aims is to rethink tourism for development, including through education and jobs, and tourism’s impact on the planet and opportunities to grow more sustainably.
