Since the inaugural celebration of the World Tourism Day by United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO, now UN Tourism) on Sept 27, 1980, it has been commemorated annually, with a different country hosting it each year.
This year, Malaysia plays host. The historic state of Melaka is chosen as the setting for the World Tourism Day and Conference 2025 that takes place from today until Sept 29. Themed “Tourism And Sustainable Transformation”, this year’s celebration calls for a more sustainable approach to tourism.
