.- The 25th World Tourism Day, to be held on September 27, will focus on the theme "Sports and Tourism: Two Living Forces for Mutual Understanding, Culture and the Development of Societies."
A statement released from the office of the Holy See Permanent Observer to the WTO, Msgr. Piero Monni, mentioned that although the phenomenon of World Tourism Day has annually been receiving growing interest from governments and institutions around the world, this year it has registered a decrease in the trend due to the terrorist threat and “international tension” that has involved several countries in “war” or “war-like activities.”
