The United Nations (UN) has designated 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism<\/strong> (A\/RES\/70\/193<\/a>), intended to highlight the potential tourism offers for combating poverty and improving understanding among people while protecting the environment. You can learn a bit more about sustainable tourism<\/a> from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Also, the UN has a specialized agency for tourism, the World Tourism Organization<\/a>. The WTO’s press release says that the designation of 2017 provides<\/p>\n

12 months to celebrate and promote the contribution of the tourism sector to building a better world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
