World Tourism Day official celebrations in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

Celebrated each year on 27 September, World Tourism Day is the global observance day fostering awareness of tourism’s social, cultural, political and economic value and the contribution that the sector can make towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.

LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND

“Tourism for Inclusive Growth” is this year’s World Tourism Day theme.

UNWTO invites its Member States, as well as non-members, sister UN agencies, businesses and individuals to celebrate tourism’s unique ability to ensure that nobody is left behind as the world begins to open up again and look to the future.

This is an opportunity to look beyond tourism statistics and acknowledge that, behind every number, there is a person.

World Tourism Day has been held on 27 September each year since 1980. 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.
