Every year on 17 February, Global Tourism Resilience Day is celebrated.
Global Tourism Resilience Day is an opportunity to look at and reflect on the resilience of the global tourism industry.
The United Nations General Assembly established the United Nations Global Tourism Resilience Day on 17 February 2023.
Over the past few years, the tourism industry has faced unprecedented challenges, from natural disasters to pandemics, and political instability to economic recession.
The term “tourism resilience” is used to describe the ability of a tourist destination to withstand and recover from a crisis.
According to the latest UNWTO data, an estimated 975 million tourists traveled internationally between January and September 2023, an increase of 38% compared to the same period in 2022.
The Indian tourism sector is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the country.
India’s tourism and hospitality industry is projected to generate revenues of over $59 billion by 2028.
Apart from this, foreign tourist arrivals (FTAs) are projected to reach 30.5 million by 2028.
