Which is why, we want to call upon the right for all of the world’s citizens to experience the incredible diversity of our planet and the beauty of the world we live in. On this year’s World Tourism Day help us spread the word of both the importance and immense benefits universal accessibility has and can bring to society at large. #tourism4all #WTD2016 Ever since its inception, World Tourism Day is celebrated on 27 September to foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value. As the official day set aside in the United Nations Calendar the celebration seeks to highlight tourisms potential to contribute to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing some of the most pressing challenges society is faced with today. The offical World Tourism Day 2016 celebrations will be held in Bangkok, Thailand. Message by UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai: “Tourism for all!” Tourism has experienced a revolution in the past 50 years. In 1950 there were 250 million international tourists; today there are around 1.2 billion people travelling the world. Travelling has become a huge part of many lives. When travelling, we come across new people, new sights, and new ideas. Often our perception of the world changes as we see more of it. However, we must not forget that for many, travelling can be quite a difficult process. 15% of the world’s population is estimated to live with some form of disability. That is 1 billion people around the world who may be unable to enjoy the privilege of knowing other cultures, experience nature at its fullest and experience the thrill of embarking on a journey to explore new sights. Accessibility for all should be at the center of tourism policies and business strategies not only as a human right, but also as a great market opportunity. With the world’s population ageing, all of us will benefit sooner or later from universal accessibility in tourism. As we celebrate World Tourism Day, let us recall that all of the world’s citizens have the right to experience the incredible diversity this planet has to offer. We thus urge all countries and destinations, as well as the industry, to promote accessibility for all in the physical environment, in transport systems, in public facilities and services and in information and communications channels. I wish you a very happy World Tourism Day and a future full of enriching and compelling travel experiences to be enjoyed by all. Thank you very much!

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
