New York, New York, Sept. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- World Tourism Day is celebrated on September 27th. The day was created in 1980 by the United Nations World Tourism Organization to raise global consciousness of the social, cultural, political and economic value of tourism worldwide, and recognize the millions of people around the globe who work in the travel and tourism sector. This year’s focus will be on tourism and green investments. According to the UNWTO, “In 2023 the international observance day for tourism will highlight the vital need to deliver investment for projects that work for People, by investment in education and skills; for the Planet, by investing in sustainable infrastructure and accelerating green transformation; and for Prosperity, by investing in innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.”
