World Tourism Day 2017
September 27 is celebrated
worldwide on World Tourism Day; this year will be celebrated in the city of
Doha (QATAR) for "the year of sustainable tourism".
Tourism is a great
generator of jobs around the world, according to official data until 2015,
tourists spent 1.2 billion traveling around the world.
They represent 10% of gross
domestic product (GDP) in the world economy and continue to grow thanks to its
segmentation.
Nowadays the tourist is no
longer satisfied with seeing, and enjoying tours of the place, they look for
more experience, knowledge, to participate more with the locals.
This year's theme is
sustainable tourism.
Tourism can improve the
quality of life for many communities if we support them by visiting them by
consuming their products and services that they produce.
In doing so we are
improving their quality of life directly by adding that we leave economic pours
in their community in exchange for receiving their culture, traditions and
teaching that you can enjoy your visit without contaminating or depredating
their land to care for future generations, enjoy a ecological tourism
We have to realize that
tourism now contributes 5% of the world's carbon footprint; of this 3.2% comes
from the transport sector and the rest of the hotel industry, according to data
from the world tourism organization.
We must promote the use of
non-polluting technologies, renewable energies, make people aware of the effect
and damage we do for pollution and depredation of natural resources.
At the conference of the
Astana 2017 Expo in Kazakhstan, on the occasion of the Year of Sustainable
Tourism, President of the World Tourism Organization Taleb Rifal said:
"We have to make sure
that people understand that fighting climate change does not mean that people
travel less, our message is that growth and sustainability are not in conflict
with each other.
We can still grow, but grow
in a responsible, ethical and sustainable way.
LONG LIFE TO SUSTAINABLE
TOURISM.
