Next Friday 27th September 2024 is World Tourism Day and to celebrate this special occasion, Malaga Town Hall, in conjunction with the city’s main museums and monuments, has prepared a special events programme.
This initiative – promoted by the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) – aims to raise awareness of the important impact tourism has on countries and communities around the world; socially, culturally, politically and economically. This year’s event goes under the following slogan: Tourism and Peace.
“World Tourism Day 2024 aims to explore the intersection of tourism and peacebuilding,
highlighting how travel, cultural exchange and sustainable tourism practices can contribute to
conflict resolution, reconciliation, and the promotion of peace worldwide.” – www.unwto.org
To celebrate this unique day, many of Malaga’s top tourist attractions will be celebrating an ‘Open Day’ with free entrance – at certain times of the day – to their facilities for all who visit. Some of the participating museums and monuments will also offer free guided tours (see link below for details). Some of these guided tours will be in high demand so we recommend you turn up early to avoid disappointment.
