As the United
Nations General Assembly affirmed when announcing the adoption of 2017 as the
International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, tourism can
contribute to all the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic,
social and environmental – and each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Not only does the sector spearhead growth, it also improves the quality of
people’s lives. It can bolster environmental protection, champion diverse
cultural heritage, and strengthen peace in the world.
In this spirit,
World Tourism Day 2017 presents a unique opportunity to raise awareness on the
contribution of sustainable tourism to development among public and private sector
decision-makers and the international community, while mobilizing all
stakeholders to work together in making tourism a catalyst for positive change.
Join us in celebrating this
special day!
