  • World Tourism Day
    INTERESTING POINTS Zagreb, September, 25th 2015 World Tourism Day World Tourism Day is celebrated on the 27 September each year. In 1970, on that same day, the Statutes of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) were adopted. Their purpose was to raise the awareness of the importance of tourism and its effects in the cultural, social, political and economic sense. Each year's topic is determined by the General Assembly of the UNWTO and this year's topic „A billion tourists, a billion opportunities“ was chosen because, according to the data of the UNWTO, the number of tourists that travelled abroad reached one billion in 2012. The estimation of this umbrella corporation is that the total number of international tourists will have amounted to 1.8 billion by 2030. Each year, a different host country is selected. The choice depends on the geographical location. More specifically, a country from a different continent is selected, and this year's official celebration is being held in Burkina Faso where a conference will be held as well and during which the importance of tourism for the global economy will be promoted. According to the methodology of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, which is harmonised with the methodology used by other EU Member States, tourism is defined as the activity of persons that travel and stay in places outside of their usual place of residence for a period shorter than one year and for the purposes of leisure, business and other personal reasons, except for employment with business entities situated in the place the person is visiting.
