Ways to celebrate the event

- By ATASA WILLIAMS

EVERY year, countries, and communitie­s generate activities that encourage sustainabl­e tourism, spreading the importance of tourism and its value to society in cultural, economic, political and social fields.

To celebrate this year's event here are some activities you can do by website www. exoticca.co.uk

Visit the museum — museums are part of the activities most carried out by tourists and that is why, in general, municipali­ties have this day with free tickets to museums.

In this way, the history of places can be better known and tourism is supported, as an axis that boosts the economy of the countries.

Connection with nature — connect with nature and complement your hike in the mountains with other activities such as bird-watching.

Gastronomi­c samples — another attraction that you can find in these activities are the gastronomi­c samples that are prepared by some town halls. Part of the travelling spirit is to understand other cultures, and food plays an important role in knowing the customs of the locals. It is an opportunit­y to show the best of local cuisine to make your own customers and visitors fall in love.

The influence of tourism — being such an important sector, tourism greatly influences different fields of society. Understand­ing the magnitude of what this represents, we must take into account this world day of tourism to raise awareness of the importance of responsibl­e tourism.

Many of the most visited destinatio­ns in the world suffer from the excessiven­ess of people who do not understand the importance of respecting the culture and customs of the locals. Knowing, travelling, exploring, is more than just tourism; It is to integrate into societies with cultural difference­s, respecting the values they represent.

On this world day of tourism, evaluate your impact on the places you visit.
