Every year on 27th Sept World Tourism Day is celebrated under the auspices of World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). The date for the celebration is the same one as the date when the UNWTO Statute was passed in 1970. This day is considered to be a turning point in the history of tourism. Every year, the UNWTO chooses a different theme, thus promoting a better understanding of tourism trends and the importance of sustainable tourism. As the year 2017 is the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, this year's theme is ''Sustainable Tourism, a Tool for Development'' with the motto #TravelEnjoyRespect. The official World Tourism Day celebration will be held in Doha (Quatar).

On the occasion of World Tourism Day, the Secretary-General of the United Nations' World Tourism Organization Taleb Rifai sent the following message: ''Whenever you travel, wherever you travel, remember to: respect nature, respect culture, respect your host. You can be the change you want to see in the world. You can be an ambassador for a better future!''
