World Tourism Day also provides an opportunity to consider tourism as an important factor in learning about different cultures and traditions, which aids in the development of a stronger global community. On World Tourism Day 2021, communities around the world can shed light on tourism's socioeconomic, political, and cultural impacts, as well as raise awareness about them. World Tourism Day is especially important in today's world, which promotes polarization and extremism.

The theme for World Tourism Day 2021 is “Tourism for inclusive growth.” Its goal is to assist people who work in the tourism industry. Because COVID-19 had a massive economic and social impact, the resumption of tourism will aid in bringing benefits that are shared fairly and widely.

The history of World Tourism Day

The World Tourism Organization established World Tourism Day in September 1979, and it officially began in 1980. The date of September 27 was chosen to commemorate World Tourism Day because it was on this date in 1970 that UNWTO statutes were adopted. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is a United Nations agency in charge of promoting sustainable and universally acceptable tourism.

The significance of World Tourism Day

The importance of World Tourism Day in bringing the international community together cannot be overstated. Tourism plays an important role in any country's economy, particularly in terms of job opportunities.

In his official message, UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili stated, “By celebrating this day, we state our commitment that as tourism grows, the benefits will be felt at every level of our broad and diverse sector, from the largest airline to the smallest family business.”
