The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) decided in September 1979 to institute World Tourism Day, which was first celebrated on 27 September 1980. 27 September was chosen as the date for World Tourism Day because that date coincided with an important milestone in world tourism: the anniversary of the adoption of the UNWTO Statutes on 27 September 1970.
