World Tourism Day
September 27th is World Tourism Day. Since 1980 the United Nations World Tourism Organization has celebrated World Tourism Day. The purpose of this international event is to raise awareness on the role of tourism within the international community and to demonstrate its impact on the intricate economic, political and cultural values internationally. Since 1997 a theme and host country is chosen, this year the theme is tourism and water and the host country is Zimbabwe.
The importance of World Tourism Day is not to be under emphasized. The underlying motivation for this event is too show us that we are all connected and that we all rely on one another, the main focus is awareness. For us as human beings we need to not look at those across the oceans as different or as belonging to another country, we need to look at them as brothers and sisters we need to look at one another as part of the universal collective as part of one species. Tourism helps us learn about each other as well as bring much needed revenue to certain parts of the world, the theme (for example water and tourism this year) helps to open the eyes of the world to the plights of our neighbors.
So plan a visit to London or too Zimbabwe, go somewhere you never knew existed, experience the world, its people and all it has to offer. As different as things are across the globe we are all connected we are all human beings who live, breath eat and love. This September 27th celebrate national world tourism day!
