About WTD

The Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Ryerson University is proud to announce the celebration of World Tourism Day 2011! World Tourism Day is an international event celebrated annually to foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value. The event strives to address the global challenges outlined by the United Nations and highlight the contribution the tourism sector can make in reaching these goals.

This year’s international theme of Linking Cultures will highlight the role tourism has on bringing cultures of the world together and on promoting global understanding through travel. The interaction between different backgrounds and way of life represents an enormous opportunity to advance tolerance, respect and mutual understanding. This year’s event will showcase how Toronto celebrates global diversity within the GTA.
