Tourism and Water: Protecting our Common Future
Tourism today is a trillion dollar sector involving the movement of
over one billion tourists a year around the world and another five to
six billion domestically.
In line with the 2013 United Nations International Year of Water Cooperation, the 2013 theme for World Tourism Day is Tourism and Water: Protecting our Common Future.
As the most widely celebrated global day for tourism, it represents a
unique opportunity to raise awareness of tourism’s role in water access
and shine a spotlight on the sector’s contribution to a more
sustainable water future.
Tourism has proven to provide environmentally sound solutions, as well
as political and financial support, for the conservation and
sustainable use of water sources. But more must be done. With
a record one billion international tourists travelling in a single
year in 2012, now is the time to commit to a more sustainable tourism
sector in order to protect our common future.
This year’s theme highlights tourism’s role in water access and
shines a spotlight on the actions currently being taken by the sector
in order to contribute to a more sustainable water future, as well as
the challenges ahead.
