Today is World Tourism Day. Established by United Nations Tourism in 1980, it is observed annually to highlight tourism’s global, social cultural and economic impact. António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General summed it up well. ‘On this World Tourism Day, we reflect on the profound connection between tourism and peace. Sustainable tourism can transform communities – creating jobs, fostering inclusion and strengthening local economies. By valuing and preserving cultural and natural heritage, it can help reduce tensions and nurture peaceful coexistence.
