"Tourism is more than an economic driver—it plays a vital role in enhancing cultural understanding and promoting peace worldwide. As we celebrate World Tourism Day, with the theme 'Tourism and Peace,' we recognize tourism's unique ability to contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and most of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The UNWTO's focus on sustainable tourism highlights how travel, cultural exchange, and peace-sensitive tourism practices can drive conflict resolution, reconciliation, and social transformation. By investing in youth and innovation, tourism can also create new opportunities for sustainable development and peacebuilding. I look forward to today’s insightful session, where we will explore how tourism can be a force for peace and progress on a global scale." ~ Mr. Ajit Mangrulkar, Director General, IMC #WorldTourismDay #TourismAndPeace

The time has arrived. We need to talk about why community-based tourism is so impactful. According to the latest statistics, community-based tourism is driving a $4 billion boost to local economies globally. It also ensures that about 70% of tourism revenue stays within local areas. This not only empowers local economies but also helps 📌 Raising living standards 📌 Creating a real and lasting impact 📌 Encourage cultural exchange. Here are 4 reasons that prove the same: ✅ Empowering Local Communities: > When you travel to places where the tourism money stays within the community, you help boost local economies and improve living standards. > It’s a direct way to support the people who host you. ✅ Preserving Cultural Heritage: > Community-based tourism encourages locals to take pride in their traditions and natural surroundings. > This pride helps them protect and preserve their cultural and natural heritage. ✅ Promoting Sustainable Practices: > This type of tourism focuses on caring for the environment and using resources wisely. > It ensures that tourism benefits everyone while protecting the places you visit. ✅ Providing Authentic Experiences: > Community-based tourism lets you step away from typical tourist spots and truly dive into local life. > You get to experience things just like the locals do, making your trip both memorable and meaningful. What’s your take on this approach? #community #tourism #experience

Today, on World Tourism Day, we acknowledge that tourism, while a powerful economic driver, also plays a vital role in fostering social connections and understanding. 🫂 Tourism has the ability to bridge cultural divides. Tourism exposes people to different cultures, challenging stereotypes, thus fostering empathy and mutual understanding between people. It also offers opportunities for personal growth and a deeper appreciation of the world's diversity. 🗻 Tourism can also play a role in empowering local communities. By creating jobs, generating revenue, and fostering community involvement, tourism can contribute to improved infrastructure, better governance, and the preservation of cultural heritage. This, in turn, can lead to a higher quality of life for marginalized residents and a more sustainable and equitable future for all. Let's celebrate World Tourism Day with LinkPower and engage in sustainable tourism practices to create a more interconnected and harmonious world. ✨ ________ LinkPower Email: hello.linkpower@gmail.com Website: https://linkpower.eco/ Facebook: https://lnkd.in/ggztR_YE #WorldTourismDay #Tourism #CulturalExchange #Linkpower #SocialImpact
