What time is it in world tourism day?

September 27th every year. With the rapid development of the world economy and the substantial improvement of people's living standards, tourism has become one of the main choices for people's leisure and vacation. The development of tourism not only provides a lot of employment opportunities for many countries, but also brings them rich foreign exchange income, so governments of various countries pay more and more attention to the development of tourism.

Although the global tourism industry was affected to some extent by terrorist attacks, regional conflicts and world economic recession, it achieved a strong recovery in 2004. According to the data released by the World Tourism Organization, in 2004, the number of international tourists reached 760 million, and the income from overseas tourism reached 622 billion US dollars, both reaching record highs. According to the forecast of the World Tourism Organization, by 20 10, more than 654.38 billion people will travel abroad every year in the world.

1983 China officially became a member of the World Tourism Organization. Starting from 1985, a province, autonomous region and municipality directly under the Central Government will be designated as the main venue for world tourism day celebrations every year.
