World Tourism day: 27 September 2025

About Tourism Day

World Tourism Day is celebrated every year on 27th September to raise awareness about the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political, and economic value. The day was established by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in 1980, marking the anniversary of its statutes.

The main aim of this day is to highlight how tourism connects people, promotes cultural exchange, supports sustainable development, and creates jobs worldwide. Each year, World Tourism Day is celebrated with a special theme focusing on issues like green travel, digital innovation, or inclusive growth.

Tourism not only allows people to explore new destinations but also builds peace, understanding, and harmony among nations.
