Svjetski dan turizma (World Tourism Day) svake godine po izboru UNWTO-a (Svjetske turističke organizacije) ima drugu temu kojom promovira bolje razumijevanje turističkih kretanja i važnost održivog razvoja turizma. Ovogodišnjom temom "Turizam i pristupačnost: promičemo univerzalnu pristupačnost" UNWTO skreće pažnju na prednosti pristupačnosti turizma za sve skupine, uz ostale i za ugroženije, siromašnije, s fizičkim i drugim oštećenjima, koje na putovanjima imaju drugačije potrebe od tzv. običnih turista. Postizanje univerzalne pristupačnosti zajednička je odgovornost svih uključenih u lancu turističke vrijednosti, ali i poslovna prilika za tvrtke i destinacije, ističu iz UNWTO-a čiji je glavni tajnik Taleb Rifai u povodu Svjetskog dana turizma poručio da "svi građani svijeta imaju pravo doživjeti nevjerojatnu raznolikost planeta na kojem živimo te je stoga vrlo važno da zemlje i odredišta te ukupna turistička industrija promiče i čini sve kako bi turizam bio dostupniji svim skupinama". Kako je UNWTO specijalizirana agencija UN-a za turizam, poruku je uputio i glavni tajnik UN-a Ban Ki-Moon, upozorivši da još uvijek ima dosta prepreka da bi turizam bio dostupan svima. Prema procjenama Svjetske turističke organizacije, petnaest posto svjetske populacije živi s nekim oblikom invaliditeta. Riječ je više od milijardu ljudi koji možda nisu u mogućnosti uživati privilegije upoznavanja drugih kultura, prirodnih ljepota ili uzbuđenja odlaska na putovanje
