On September the 27th, when the high season ends in the Northern Hemisphere and starts in the Southern one, the Tourism Day is commemorated everywhere with fairs, meetings and, of course, journeys.
The date was established by the World Tourism Organization, an UN agency, in 1980. Every year, a topic and a country which acts as international host of the celebration are selected. In 2009, the Tourism Day is devoted to the challenge of the climate change and the country is Ghana.
In order that the Tourism day is not be considered only as a marketing expression, the UN organizes a series of conferences about climate change and tourism. Those people taking part in such conferences will have to write down ten proposals for the decrease of environmental impact to be applied on world tourism.
