Tourism has become a reliable source of employment all over the globe, even in its most remote areas. In 2015, the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry supported 7.6 million jobs in the United States alone.
Prepare your cumbersome cameras, unfold your maps, and ensure that your waist pack still fits securely. Every year on September 27, World Tourism Day raises global awareness of the need for accessible tourism.
World Tourism Day is the culmination of the efforts of the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the specialized agency of the United Nations. If you’ve ever strolled through a charming, perfectly-preserved European village or town, you’ve undoubtedly seen the WTO at work. Among the many benefits of the WTO are enhancing local economies and promoting sustainable tourism.
Moreover, on World Tourism Day, the WTO ensures that travel is accessible to all, including those with disabilities and those with limited financial resources. Whether you use a cane or a wheelchair, the world is open for business with you and your companions. Consequently, explore!
Tourism has become a reliable source of employment all over the globe, even in its most remote areas. In 2015, the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry supported 7.6 million jobs in the United States alone. Thus, one in every eighteen Americans is employed in tourism. Responsible tourism can create jobs in regions where automation and other unavoidable factors have increased unemployment. In 2015, international tourism generated export revenues of $1.5 trillion.
This can be incredibly beneficial for smaller, underdeveloped communities. Developing a sustainable tourism ecosystem is crucial for assuring the equitable distribution of these earnings throughout the community. Through the efforts of the WTO, these regions are implementing intelligent tourism strategies.
Granted, the sight of yet another lost tourist in your community may elicit a small groan, but the reality is that traveling and experiencing new places is beneficial to our minds and society. So, start arranging your next trip!

Today, take a break from your normal routine and ask yourself, “What would I do if I were on vacation in my hometown?” Where might a visitor spend a day? By exploring your hometown as a visitor, you will support local businesses and gain a fresh perspective on your community.
Stability and sustainability in the global economy are crucial for tourism’s continuous growth. Educate yourself on the most effective methods to experience a new country, city, or village so as to leave a positive impression.
