Every year, World Tourism Day reminds us that travel is more than just movement across borders, it’s about connections, culture, and care for the planet we all share. The 2025 theme of Tourism and Sustainability underscores the need to balance exploration with responsibility, ensuring that the world’s natural and cultural treasures endure for generations to come.
Tourism as a Force for Positive Change
“World Tourism Day is a powerful reminder that the journeys we take should give back as much as they give us," says the Vineet Mishra, Vice President Operations, India & South Asia, Accor Group. “At Accor, sustainability goes beyond operations: it’s about protecting ecosystems, uplifting local communities, and ensuring that travel continues to inspire without depleting the world we share."
