📣One month until tourism’s biggest day.

AI is already changing the way we discover, plan and experience travel.

The real question is: where does it take tourism next?

On 27 September, that conversation goes global.

On World Humanitarian Day, we honour those who stand with communities when they need it most.

Tourism cannot be separated from the realities destinations and their people face. In times of crisis, our responsibility is to remain present, protect livelihoods and help create the conditions for recovery.

Solidarity must extend beyond moments of crisis into the work of rebuilding opportunity, confidence and hope.

Lebanon leaves a mark on you. 🇱🇧

In its people, its creativity, its heritage and the warmth with which every door seems to open.

This visit was about more than seeing a destination. It was about understanding the resilience, confidence and pride of a country that continues to look forward, even through challenging times, and the possibility that tourism can help carry forward.

We leave Lebanon inspired, and even more committed to supporting the country as it builds on its extraordinary strengths and writes its next chapter.

Today, the skies are making history. 🌒☀️

This evening, the Iberian Peninsula will witness its first total solar eclipse in 114 years, with totality visible across parts of Spain, Portugal, Iceland and Greenland, and a partial eclipse seen across much of Europe.

Millions of people are looking to the sky and travelling towards the path of totality. Few moments demonstrate the potential of astrotourism so powerfully.

From rural communities to remote destinations, experiences like this can attract new visitors, support local economies, diversify tourism and strengthen the case for protecting our dark skies and natural heritage.

Sometimes, the most extraordinary reason to travel is simply to look up. 🔭

📘 Discover UN Tourism’s Guide for the Development of Astrotourism:

‼️ Please use certified eclipse glasses or appropriate solar viewing protection. Regular sunglasses are not safe.

A special thank you to our partners and UN Tourism Affiliate Members for their valuable support and contribution.

Only 30 days to go! ⏳

In just one month, leaders from tourism, sport, governments and the private sector will gather in Mexico City for the 4th World Sports Tourism Congress.

Following the momentum of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Congress will explore how destinations can transform major sporting events into long-term economic, social and tourism benefits.

From governance and investment to sustainability and innovation, the programme will showcase practical strategies and international best practices for building lasting legacies.

As the only city to have hosted the opening match of the FIFA World Cup on three occasions, Mexico City provides the perfect setting for this global conversation.

📅 7–10 September 2026
