World Tourism Day takes place each year on September 27. It was established by the United Nations in 1980 to commemorate the same day in 1970 when the UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) Statues were adopted.
The annual day of recognition seeks to celebrate the tourism industry’s ability to drive economic growth. It is a day to highlight the need for investment in funding gaps to build a more sustainable and resilient tourism sector. It also seeks to promote innovative solutions to bolster economic growth and productivity.
