Where is Tourism going? How do we want to get there?
From the United Nations Website
Tourism employs one in every ten people on Earth. International tourist arrivals at the start of 2022 were double the level recorded in 2021. In some regions, arrivals are already at, or even above, pre-pandemic levels. The lifting of the remaining travel restrictions, alongside rising consumer confidence, will be important drivers for the sector’s recovery, bringing hope and opportunity to many millions of people around the world.
In May 2022, for the first time, the United Nations General Assembly held a special debate on tourism, illustrating the historic relevance of the sector. Tourism is now on the agenda of governments and of international organizations in every global region. At the same time, tourist destinations and businesses are proactively adapting to meet challenges and responsibilities.
The theme for World Tourism Day 2022 is, “Rethinking Tourism”. It aims to inspire the debate around rethinking tourism for development, including through education and jobs, and tourism’s impact on the planet and opportunities to grow more sustainably.
