Global Tourism Resilience Day is observed worldwide every February 17. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in February 2023, this day highlights the significance of resilient and sustainable tourism in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The observance emphasizes the ability of the tourism sector to recover from various shocks, such as natural disasters, health crises, and political unrest, which can disrupt travel and impact economies. It calls on UN member states and stakeholders, including NGOs and businesses, to develop strategies for the quick rehabilitation of tourism after such disruptions. Resilient tourism is crucial for job creation, especially in developing countries where it can account for over 20% of GDP, and it supports environmental conservation and local community development.
