World Tourism Day: Promoting Sustainable Tourism to Protect the Life Below Water Every year, 27th September is commemorated as World Tourism Day to raise awareness about the importance of tourism and its impact on social, cultural, and economic values across the globe. For AIS countries, tourism has played a crucial role in generating economic growth and supporting livelihoods. The landscapes not only define their geography but also serve as the foundation for their economies, cultures, and communities. As one of the world’s fastest-growing sectors, tourism has shifted its focus towards promoting sustainable tourism or ecotourism, which encourages people to protect the environment and preserve cultural heritage. It fosters peace and contributes to the achievement of the SDGs. However, when tourism neglects sustainability, it can lead to marine pollution, hinder community development, and intensify broader issues like climate change. Sustainable tourism can also empower local communities by involving them in various aspects of the industry, ensuring they benefit both economically and socially. This approach is vital for the protection of marine ecosystems, ensuring that Life Below Water thrives in harmony with economic growth.
