World tourism day has been going since 1980, and was put together by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO). The idea behind it is raising awareness of the profound benefits tourism gives to the global community, showing its effects on culture, economy, and politics. It is held on the 27th of September each year for that was the date when the statutes of UNWTO were accepted in 1970. When it was held in Istanbul in 1986, it was decided that each year a different host country would be elected.
