World Tourism Day this year rethinks tourism

Since 1980, World Tourism Day has been observed every year on September 27. This particular day accords with the anniversary of a significant landmark in world tourism. It is the day on which the United Nations World Tourism Organization’s Statutes were agreed on in Mexico City.


This date is also important given the fact that during this time, the northern hemisphere sees the culmination of the high season while the southern hemisphere sees the start of the season. This day is also noticeable due to the importance of tourism not only as a luxury or a much needed escape, but also the way it impacts the socio-cultural, political and economic segments of any country, along with international community.


This year’s theme is ‘Rethinking Tourism’, focusing on the future, with the industry still recuperating from the damaging effects of the Covid-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns and limitations.


As a result, this year, the UNWTO aims to rethink regarding how to take tourism forward, urging people and the planet to assemble everyone together with a collective dream of a more comprehensive, sustainable and robust sector.


The official revelries for World Tourism Day this year are being held in Indonesia, which is one of the countries whose economies depend on tourism and was unfavorably affected by the pandemic blows.
The UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili said that on World Tourism Day this year, the UNWTO urges everyone, from tourism workers to tourists themselves, along with small businesses, large establishments and governments to rethink what can be done and how to do it.
