To celebrate the 2017 World Tourism Day on September 27th, 2017, hospitality management students of Les Roches Marbella Global Hospitality Education produced a video to bring attention to this year’s theme covering Sustainable Tourism as a Tool for Development. Today we present the “5 Ways Sustainable Tourism Will Change The World”
The World Tourism Day website states that, 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! #WTD2017 #IY2017 #TravelEnjoyRespect #SDGs
