Global Tourism Resilience Day is observed on February 17, 2026. It was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2022 and has been marked annually since 2023. The date does not commemorate a specific event but was chosen to emphasize the need for sustainable recovery in the tourism sector.
The purpose of the day is to strengthen the resilience of tourism to crises such as natural disasters, pandemics and economic shocks. It promotes risk management, adaptation strategies and sustainable tourism development.
Global Tourism Resilience Day encourages cooperation among governments, businesses and communities to ensure that tourism remains a driver of economic growth and cultural exchange. The United Nations supports actions that build capacity and reduce vulnerability in the sector.
