Preparation for World Tourism Day 2020

World Tourism Day (WTD) will be celebrated around the world on the 27th of September 2020.

The theme for this year’s celebration as set by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNTWO) is “Tourism: Building Peace and Fostering Knowledge.” Given that the 27th September falls on Sunday this year, the Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) will celebrate World Tourism Day on the 25th September 2020.

To celebrate this year’s World Tourism Day, TAK is working with the Ministry of Education to host an essay competition for Year 10 students on the topic “How tourism can promote peace and strengthen knowledge of the I-Kiribati people”

Through the assistance of the Ministry of Women, Youth, Sport and Social Affairs, TAK will also organise a practical training on handicraft making with women from various local communities.

TAK welcomes year 10 students and women to participate in this year’s World Tourism Day celebration.
