Miguel Torruco Marqués and Delfina Gómez celebrate World Tourism Day in the State of Mexico / @TorrucoTurismo @SECTUR_mx >>>
#EstadoDeMéxico.- Also accompanied by the Secretary of Culture and Tourism of the State of Mexico, Nelly Minerva Carrasco Godínez, the head of the Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR), highlighted that today is a very special day for the sector, due to the commemoration of World Tourism Day, which is being hosted by India on an international level.
He explained that in September 1979, the General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization (WTO), today UN Tourism, instituted the “World Tourism Day”; and the celebrations began on September 27, 1980, to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the approval of the Statutes of the then WTO.
He informed that, on this occasion, World Tourism Day has as its theme “Tourism and Peace”, a highly relevant topic on which it is necessary to reflect and raise awareness, since peace is not only an internal aspect, but a social phenomenon that encompasses spaces such as culture, politics, economy and, of course, tourism, which has the wonderful virtue of crossing the borders that separate human beings, fostering fraternal rapprochement between peoples.
“Tourism is a bridge of communication and coexistence that knows no distances or time; it is a vehicle of trust and goodwill that allows understanding between the cultures of the different latitudes of the world,” he said.
Torruco Marqués pointed out that this activity is capable of changing attitudes and contributing to peace, especially because it helps to reduce poverty and improve the living conditions of local populations, since by its very nature it generates foreign exchange, employment and investment.
He pointed out that the federal Ministry of Tourism, on the instructions of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has focused its efforts, through programs, strategies and actions, on making tourism a tool for social reconciliation, collaborating in the reconstruction of the social fabric.
