As early as 1971, the International Federation of Official Tourism Organizations, the predecessor of the World Tourism Organization, put forward the idea of establishing the festival according to the opinions of the official tourism organizations of African countries. After a lot of preparatory work, in September 1979, the Third Congress of the World Tourism Organization officially decided that September 27th was the world tourism day.
