To celebrate World Tourism Day on 27 September, UNWTO has announced five photos and five ‘tweets’ from among the hundreds of entries submitted to the 2011 World Tourism Day competitions that best reflect the 2011 theme, ‘Tourism – Linking Cultures’. The winning photos, featuring Korean women celebrating India’s Holi festival and a young tourist backstage at the Chinese Opera Theatre, alongside a selection of finalists, will be displayed as part of a photo exhibition in Aswan, Egypt, the host of the official World Tourism Day celebration. The tweets will appear on all promotional materials.
“It is extraordinary how a simple photo, or just 140 characters, can highlight what makes our sector so special: its ability to link the cultures to the world,” said Taleb Rifai, Secretary-General, UNWTO.
