U.S. Travel Salutes World Tourism Day
September 27, 2009

"Celebrating Tourism Diversity"

Presented by the U.N. World Tourism Organization, World Tourism Day provides a marker each year to join destinations worldwide in championing the benefits of travel. It is an opportunity to engage local audiences—from visitors and media to legislators and boards—on the unique role that travel and tourism plays within your state, region or city.

World Tourism Day is an outstanding opportunity to educate policymakers and community leaders and create special events celebrating travel and tourism in your home base. 

World Tourism Day is sanctioned by the U.N. World Tourism Organization (WTO), a specialized agency of the United Nations.
