Every year the United Nations observes World Tourism Day on 27 September. It is a day to support travel because it not only improves our lives but is also vital for a nation’s politics and economics.
The official celebration of World Tourism Day 2022 has been organized this year in Bali, Indonesia with the theme of 'Rethinking Tourism'.
The main reason purpose for observation of this day is to spread and foster awareness of travel and tourism.
World Tourism Day was established by the UN World Tourism Organization in September 1979, and its inaugural events took place on September 27.
The late Ignatius Amaduwa Atigbi, a Nigerian national, was the one who proposed the idea of marking September 27 of every year as World Tourism Day.
The Indian government established January 25 as the National Tourism Day to raise awareness about the importance of tourism to the country’s economy.
