Theme for 2014:
Tourism and Community Development
This year’s World Tourism Day draws special attention to the role of tourism in
contributing to one of the building blocks of a more sustainable future for
all: Community development. The consolidation of tourism’s economic influence has built up its social responsibility. With the focus on the community, WTD 2014 highlights how tourism can be conducive to advancing sustainable development from the grassroots level. Community based tourism involves the local population in the decision
making process according to local priorities.
With this backdrop, the aim is to highlight the positive contributions of tourism routes to sustainable and responsible tourism, as well as the contribution of tourism to cultural
understanding and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage.
Bringing together experts from a diverse range of sectors we aim to identify the motivational factors behind the demand for tourism through this collaboration.
On the occasion of joining the global community in the celebration of World Tourism Day we invite you to attend.
Thanks And Regards
