World Tourism Day has been held on 27 September each year since 1980. It is a key day to recognise the weight that tourism has on many economies, but also to underline that, like other activities, it has an environmental impact that must be reduced as much as possible in order to preserve the tourist destination, the greatest resource and on which the tourism sector depends.

Following the publication of the Transition Pathway for Tourism and the European Agenda for Tourism 2030 the European Commission launched in February 2022 a call for commitments and pledges to stakeholders. Within this framework, public and private tourism stakeholders are invited to share their concrete actions and targets to contribute to the green and digital transition of the tourism sector and increasing the ecosystem’s resilience. The call to share the pledges is continuously open. EMAS-registered tourism organisations are invited to share their good practice!
