What is world tourism day based on?

World tourism day is a festival designated by the World Tourism Organization for tourism workers and tourists. 1970 On September 27th, the International Official 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. 1979 In September, the third Congress of the World Tourism Organization officially designated September 27th as world tourism day. This day was chosen as world tourism day. First of all, the predecessor of the World Tourism Organization, the International Official Tourism Union, adopted the Constitution of the World Tourism Organization at the special congress 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.

With the development of the world economy and the 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. In recent years, despite the impact of terrorist attacks, regional conflicts and world economic recession, global tourism 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.

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.
