The below is the World Tourism Day message 2019 (September 27) with the theme is Tourism and employment - A bright future for all of the Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization, Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili. It is pleased to introduce it.
Tourism can help us build a brighter future for everyone. Around the world, tourism brings the employment source, provides millions of jobs and promotes economic development both at the local and national levels.
At the same time, tourism promotes equality and inclusion. Employment in the tourism industry offers women, youth, and individuals from rural areas the opportunity to support themselves and their families, and integrate more deeply into society.
The real potential of tourism in creating jobs, promoting equality and sustainable development has only been realized recently. Providing good job opportunities and support the major development play central roles. If well managed, the continued growth of the tourism industry will provide countless opportunities and allow tourism to realize its global social responsibility, leaving no one behind to the world.
There will be no isolated economy, society or individual. To do this, the government and stakeholders from the public and private sectors are working together to operate tourism responsibly and sustainably, realizing the great potential of tourism.
New technology is changing the way people travel, so technology changes the way we work. Tourism is leading the way in providing workers with the skills and knowledge which they need for the future. Updated and creative, effective cooperation with partners in the field of technology and training facilities, ... will contribute to creating more and more jobs with better quality.
Celebrating World Tourism Day, let's recognize and celebrate the transformative power of tourism. Together, we can leverage the potential tourism to build a brighter and more equal future.
