Marking the occasion, the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, the Nepal Tourism Board, the Department of Tourism, and leading tourism-related associations are organizing various programs nationwide.
This year’s celebration is being held under the theme “Tourism and Green Transformation” (translated as “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation”). World Tourism Day is observed every year on September 27. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has been commemorating this day since 1980 to promote awareness of tourism’s social, cultural, political, and economic value.
