Happy World Tourism Day!

Tourism is extremely important for every nation for its great social, cultural, political and economic value. In 2015 alone, international tourism generated US $1.5 trillion in export earnings.

International tourist arrivals grew by 4.6% in 2015 and the number is forecasted to increase in the coming years, expecting to reach 1.8 billion tourists by the year 2030. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the diversity and beauty of our world, which is why it is important to support universal accessibility to tourism.

The official celebration for World Tourism Day (WTD) is being celebrated in Bangkok, Thailand today.  Experience the beauty of this country in the following video, prepared especially for WTD.
