On September 27, 2024, the world will come together to celebrate World Tourism Day under the theme “Tourism and Peace.”
The theme for 2024: Tourism and Peace
The theme for World Tourism Day 2024 is “Tourism and Peace.” This year emphasizes the role tourism plays in promoting peace, cultural understanding, and global unity. By bringing people from diverse backgrounds together, tourism fosters mutual respect and appreciation, reduces tensions, and creates economic opportunities that benefit local communities. Through responsible and sustainable travel, we can help build a more peaceful and inclusive world, where tourism serves as a bridge for dialogue and connection between nations.
Georgia: The Host Country for 2024
Georgia, the host country for 2024, is the perfect example of how tourism can drive both cultural exchange and sustainable development. Known for its breathtaking landscapes—from the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains to the scenic Black Sea coast—Georgia offers travelers an immersive experience in rich history and diverse culture. Its capital, Tbilisi, blends ancient traditions with modern charm, while regions like Kakheti showcase the country’s world-renowned wine culture, some of the oldest in the world.
How Tourism Promotes Peace
This year’s theme reminds us that tourism can promote peace by bringing people from different backgrounds together, creating jobs, and preserving cultural and natural heritage. As tourists explore new places, they not only learn about others but also contribute to the well-being of local communities. Sustainable tourism, in particular, plays a crucial role in protecting our planet’s natural beauty while fostering long-lasting peace and prosperity.
Join the global celebration of World Tourism Day 2024 by embracing responsible travel and exploring the beauty and culture of Georgia. Together, we can build a more peaceful and connected world through tourism.
