Next Wednesday 27th September 2023 is World Tourism Day and to celebrate this special occasion, Malaga Town Hall, in conjunction with the city’s main museums and monuments, has prepared a special events programme.
This initiative – promoted by the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) – aims to raise awareness of the important impact tourism has on countries and communities around the world; socially, culturally, politically and economically. This year’s event goes under the following slogan: Investing in People, Planet and Prosperity.
UNWTO has identified investments as one of the key priorities for tourism’s recovery and future growth and development. For World Tourism Day 2023, UNWTO highlights the need for more and better-targeted investments for people, for planet and for prosperity. Now is the time for new and innovative solutions, not just traditional investments that promote and underpin economic growth and productivity.
World Tourism Day 2023 will be a call to action to the international community, governments, multilateral financial institutions, development partners and private sector investors to unite around a new tourism investment strategy.” – www.unwto.org
To celebrate this unique day, many of Malaga’s top tourist attractions will be celebrating an ‘Open Day’ with free entrance – at certain times of the day – to their facilities for all who visit. Some of the participating museums and monuments will also offer free guided tours (see link below for details). Some of these guided tours will be in high demand so we recommend you turn up early to avoid disappointment.
