When is world tourism day every year?

World tourism day is on September 27th every year.

1979 In September, the third Congress of the World Tourism Organization officially decided that September 27th was world tourism day. This day was chosen because the International Union of Official Tourism Organizations adopted the constitution of the World Tourism Organization to be established at the special congress held in Mexico City on September 27th, 1970, so it is of commemorative significance. In addition, this day happens to be just after the tourist season in the northern hemisphere and just after the tourist season in the southern hemisphere, which is also a good time for people all over the world to spend their holidays.

In order to clarify the role and significance of tourism, deepen people's understanding and understanding of tourism in the world, and promote the development of tourism, the World Tourism Organization has set a theme for world tourism day every year from 1980, and tourism organizations in various countries have launched a series of celebrations according to the theme and requirements.

The significance of determining world tourism day lies in: developing international and domestic tourism, promoting cultural, artistic and economic exchanges among countries, enhancing mutual understanding among people of all countries and promoting social progress.
