Happy World Tourism Day!

Tourism is extremely
important for every nation for its great social, cultural, political and
economic value. In 2015 alone, international tourism generated US $1.5 trillion
in export earnings.

International tourist
arrivals grew by 4.6% in 2015 and the number is forecasted to increase in the
coming years, expecting to reach 1.8 billion tourists by the year 2030.
Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the diversity and beauty of
our world, which is why it is important to support universal accessibility to
tourism.

The official
celebration for World Tourism Day (WTD) is being celebrated in Bangkok,
Thailand today.  Experience the beauty of
