Empowering Sustainable Growth through Tourism

Tourism plays a pivotal role in fostering economic growth, particularly in emerging markets. As a labor-intensive industry, it generates millions of jobs, promotes cultural exchange, and drives investment across various sectors, including agriculture, construction, and retail. In celebration of World Tourism Day, IFC highlights its commitment to promoting sustainable and inclusive tourism projects that contribute to economic resilience and environmental stewardship.

Through investment in the private sector and collaboration with governments, financial institutions and sector organizations, IFC works to support tourism projects that drive economic resilience, especially in the countries and regions affected by global development challenges. In addition to financing tourism in emerging markets, recent initiatives include investments in supporting responsible tourism infrastructure, augmenting sustainable capacity for local businesses, and promoting strategic marketing to attract high-value tourism markets. By integrating sustainability and innovation, IFC is ensuring that tourism not only recovers but thrives, creating lasting benefits for local communities and ecosystems.

Examples of IFC’s work in Tourism

Provided Sustainability Linked Loans and Bonds , as Green and Blue Loans to hotel companies committed to achieving higher environmental protection and resource efficiency targets.

Create an enabling environment by proposing policy reforms in coordination with the World Bank that will unlock private sector participation in the tourism market.

Developed advisory programs to support hotel developers and operators enhancing their local supply chains and better manage their relationships with the local community and other key stakeholders.

Support national governments through advisory programs on tourism-related policies and market positioning.

When is World Tourism Day celebrated and why?

World Tourism Day is celebrated on September 27th every year. The day was established by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) to raise awareness about the role of tourism within the international community and to demonstrate how it affects social, cultural, political, and economic values worldwide.

• Awareness: Established by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in 1980, this day serves to raise awareness about the importance of tourism and its impact on societies worldwide.
• Economic Impact: Tourism is one of the major revenue sources for many countries. It helps stimulate economic growth, provides employment opportunities, and drives the development of infrastructure.
• Cultural Exchange: Tourism promotes the exchange of cultures. It allows people from various parts of the world to understand, appreciate, and learn from diverse cultures, traditions, and ways of life. This can foster global understanding and peace.
• Education and Enlightenment: Travel broadens the mind. Through tourism, people get firsthand experiences of places, histories, and traditions, which can be a form of education outside the conventional classroom environment.
• Sustainable Development: In recent years, the concept of sustainable tourism, which respects both local communities and the traveler, cultural heritage, and the environment, has come to the forefront. World Tourism Day often emphasizes the significance of sustainable tourism and its role in ensuring that the benefits of tourism reach every corner of the world.

Each year, a theme is chosen for World Tourism Day that reflects the current issues, challenges, and trends in the tourism industry. This theme guides discussions, events, and celebrations related to the day.

12 World Tourism Day celebration ideas in the office

Here are 12 World Tourism Day celebration ideas in the office:

This celebration is all about bringing the flavors of the world into your workplace. Encourage your colleagues to prepare and share dishes from different countries or regions they've visited.

You can set up a communal eating area where everyone can try a variety of international foods. It's like having a global potluck! This idea not only celebrates diverse cuisines but also allows employees to bond over their shared love for food and travel.

2. Travel story sharing

Traveling is full of exciting adventures and sometimes hilarious mishaps. Organize a session during a lunch break or as part of a casual meeting where employees can share their travel experiences.

It could be a heartwarming story about a memorable trip or a funny anecdote about a travel mishap. This activity helps coworkers get to know each other better and learn about different parts of the world through personal stories.

3. Travel trivia quiz

Put together a fun and engaging travel-themed quiz for your colleagues. The quiz can include questions about famous landmarks, world capitals, unique customs, and interesting facts from various countries.

4. Cultural dress-up day

Encourage your coworkers to showcase their appreciation for different cultures by coming to the office dressed in attire representing a country or culture they admire or have a connection with.

It could be as simple as wearing a traditional scarf or something more elaborate like a kimono or a sarong. This activity not only allows employees to express their cultural interests but also opens the door to conversations about the significance of the attire and the cultures they represent.

5. Travel destination décor

Transform your office into a mini global tour by decorating it with travel-themed elements. Hang up world maps, and travel posters, and display souvenirs from various destinations.

Bring a taste of different destinations to your office by setting up virtual reality (VR) stations. Employees can put on VR headsets and take immersive virtual tours of famous landmarks, cities, or natural wonders from around the world.

It's an innovative way to celebrate tourism and allows coworkers to "visit" places they may have never been before.

12. Global recipe swap

Encourage employees to participate in a global recipe swap. Each person can bring in a dish from their favorite travel destination, along with the recipe. Create a booklet with all the recipes and distribute it to everyone in the office.

This not only celebrates international cuisine but also allows coworkers to recreate dishes from different parts of the world at home.

12 World Tourism Day celebration ideas in the office virtually

Here are 12 World Tourism Day celebration ideas in the office virtually:

1. Around-the-world cooking challenge

Invite your colleagues to embark on a culinary journey from the comfort of their kitchens. Ask participants to choose a country or region, research its traditional dishes, and then prepare one of those dishes.

During a virtual lunch or dinner meetup, employees can showcase their culinary creations, share the cultural significance of the food, and even provide cooking tips. It's a delicious way to explore different cultures and cuisines while bonding over a shared meal.

2. Global trivia and quiz

Test your team's knowledge about world geography, famous landmarks, and travel facts with a lively virtual trivia and quiz session. Create teams and have them compete to answer questions related to various countries and cultures.

This interactive session allows team members to learn from one another's travel experiences, discover hidden gems around the world, and find inspiration for their future adventures.

4. Cultural exchange hour

5. Travel-themed costume contest

Inject some fun and creativity into your virtual celebration by hosting a travel-themed costume contest. Encourage employees to dress up as characters, historical figures, or elements inspired by different countries or cultures.

This activity not only showcases the beauty of our world but also allows colleagues to share their travel stories visually.

7. Virtual escape room adventure

Transport your team on a virtual adventure by hosting a travel-themed escape room experience.

Choose a destination or scenario related to travel, and challenge employees to work together to solve puzzles, riddles, and challenges to "escape" from a virtual location. It's an interactive and team-building way to celebrate World Tourism Day.

8. Travel book club

Start a travel-themed book club within your office. Select a travel-related book, memoir, or novel and encourage employees to read it in the weeks leading up to World Tourism Day.

Host a virtual discussion where participants can share their thoughts, insights, and favorite travel-related quotes from the book. It's a literary journey that sparks conversation and inspires wanderlust.

27 september 2021, secretary-general's message on world tourism day 2021: “tourism for inclusive growth” [scroll down for french version], antónio guterres, secretary-general.

On World Tourism Day, we recognize the power and potential of tourism to advance prosperity and drive inclusive, sustainable development. The tourism sector touches almost every part of our economies and societies, enabling historically marginalized people and those at risk of being left behind to benefit from development that is local and direct.

Tourism continues to suffer enormously under the COVID-19 pandemic: in the first five months of this year, international tourist arrivals decreased by a staggering 95 per cent in parts of the world and forecasts suggest a loss of over $4 trillion to global GDP by the end of 2021. This is a major shock for developed economies, but for developing countries, it is an emergency.

Climate change is also severely affecting many major tourist destinations, particularly Small Island Developing States where tourism accounts for nearly 30 percent of economic activity.

With many millions of livelihoods in jeopardy, it is time to rethink, transform, and safely restart tourism. With the right safeguards in place, the tourism sector can provide decent jobs, helping to build resilient, sustainable, gender-equal, inclusive economies and societies that work for everyone. This means targeted action and investment to shift towards green tourism – with high emitting sectors, including air and sea transport and hospitality, moving towards carbon neutrality. 

And it means giving everybody a say in how tourism shapes the future of our societies and our planet. Only through inclusive decision-making can we ensure inclusive, sustainable growth, deliver on the promise of the SDGs, and transform tourism to fulfil its potential as an engine for prosperity, a vehicle for integration, a means to protect our planet and biodiversity, and an agent of cultural understanding between peoples.

***** À l’occasion de la Journée mondiale du tourisme, saluons la vigueur de ce secteur et le potentiel qu’il affiche en tant que moteur de prospérité et de développement inclusif et durable. Touchant presque tous les aspects de nos économies et de nos sociétés, le tourisme permet aux personnes marginalisées depuis toujours et à celles qui risquent d’être laissées pour compte de tirer parti d’un développement local et direct.

Le tourisme continue de pâtir fortement de la pandémie de COVID-19 : au cours des cinq premiers mois de cette année, les arrivées de touristes internationaux ont diminué de 95 % dans certaines parties du monde et, selon les prévisions, le PIB mondial subira une perte de plus de 4 000 milliards de dollars d’ici la fin de 2021. Il s’agit d’un choc majeur pour les économies développées ; pour les pays en développement, c’est une situation d’urgence.

Par ailleurs, les changements climatiques ont de graves répercussions sur bon nombre de destinations touristiques populaires, et notamment sur les petits États insulaires en développement, où le tourisme représente près de 30 % de l’activité économique.

Les sources de revenus de plusieurs millions de personnes étant menacées, il est temps de repenser le tourisme, de le transformer et de le relancer en toute sécurité. Dès lors que des mesures de protection adéquates sont en place, ce secteur peut être une source d’emplois décents et contribuer à bâtir des économies et des sociétés résilientes, durables, soucieuses de l’égalité des genres et inclusives, au profit de tous et toutes. Pour ce faire, il convient de prendre des mesures ciblées et d’investir dans la transition vers un tourisme vert, les secteurs à fortes émissions, notamment les transports aérien et maritime et l’hôtellerie, devant tendre vers la neutralité carbone.

En outre, il faut veiller à ce que chaque partie concernée ait son mot à dire sur la manière dont le tourisme sera amené à façonner l’avenir de nos sociétés et de notre planète. Seul un processus décisionnel ouvert nous permettra d’atteindre une croissance inclusive et durable, de tenir les promesses associées aux objectifs de développement durable et de faire évoluer ce secteur de manière à exploiter son potentiel en tant que moteur de prospérité, vecteur d’intégration, moyen de protéger notre planète et la biodiversité, et agent de compréhension mutuelle entre les cultures.
