“World Tourism Day celebrates the power of tourism to foster inclusion, protect nature and promote cultural understanding. Tourism is a powerful driver of sustainable development. Contributes to the education and empowerment of women and youth and promotes the socioeconomic and cultural development of communities. What's more, plays a critical role in the social protection systems that are the foundations of resilience and prosperity”.
António Guterres – Secretary General of the United Nations (HIM)

"We've only just begun. The potential of tourism is enormous, and we have a shared responsibility to ensure that it is fully deployed. On World Tourism Day 2022, UNWTO urges everyone, from tourism workers to tourists themselves, as well as small businesses, large corporations and governments to reflect and rethink what we do and how we do it. The future of tourism starts today».
Zurab Pololiskashvili – Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization (OMT)
