World Tourism Day is celebrated annually all around the world on September 27. This year’s World Tourism Day, with the theme of “Tourism and Rural Development”, will celebrate the unique role that tourism plays in providing opportunities outside of big cities and preserving cultural and natural heritage across the world.
For 2020, the day is of great significance because it addresses the importance of tourism sector in providing jobs and opportunities, especially for women and youth, in rural as well as big cities amid the Covid-19. The day also calls attention to the unique role of tourism sector in preserving cultural and natural heritage around the world apart from being a leading employer and economic pillar.
After being hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic, countries around the world are increasingly relying on tourism to drive recovery. The vision of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation shows that the theme of World Tourism Day 2020 is “Tourism and Rural Development”, because domestic tourism is expected to return before international tourism.
As we prepare ourselves to raise awareness about this UN day, check out these travel-inspiring quotes, slogans, pictures, FB and WhatsApp messages that will make you want to explore the cultural diversity around:
