Why is world tourism day scheduled for September?

World tourism day was established in September. First, the International Business Tourism Union, the predecessor of the World Tourism Organization, adopted the Constitution of the World Tourism Organization at the special congress held in Mexico City on 1970. In addition, this day happens to be the handover time just after the peak tourist season in the northern hemisphere and the peak tourist season in the southern hemisphere. ?

The World Tourism Organization chose this theme in order to fully support the goal of the international community to eradicate poverty in the 2 1 century set by the United Nations, and also to further demonstrate the positive role of tourism in eradicating poverty, creating employment opportunities and social harmony. ?

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. The World Tourism Organization puts forward a slogan every year, and tourism organizations all over the world carry out activities according to the slogan and requirements.
