What day is world tourism day every year?

September 27th is world tourism day. Modern tourism has developed into "social tourism". For example, British holiday camps not only provide all the facilities of traditional tourist resorts, but also constantly open up and develop new scenic spots, organize large groups of tourists to visit, build specially designed low-consumption reception facilities, and often provide entertainment and other services on the spot. Social tourism can attract a large number of tourists to remote and relatively underdeveloped areas.

The World Tourism Organization will hold the 24th world tourism day in Algeria. This year's theme is "Tourism: the Driving Force of Poverty Eradication, Employment Creation and Social Harmony". Francois, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization, pointed out that 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 at the same time further demonstrate the positive role of tourism in poverty eradication, employment creation and social harmony.

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.
