Wishing everyone a blessed World Tourism Day!
This year, the theme set by the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) is “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation.”

Tourism has always been a powerful bridge—connecting people, cultures, communities, and nature. But as we celebrate its potential, we must also acknowledge our responsibility, especially in fragile ecosystems like the Himalayas.

The future of tourism lies not in expanding blindly, but in transforming responsibly:

Sustainable Development

Encourage environmentally sensitive, lightweight construction that minimizes ecological disruption and respects natural landscapes.

Local Resources & Communities

Use local materials, skills, and traditions to create authentic experiences while generating livelihoods and preserving heritage.

Mindset Shift

Empower communities and travelers to protect the environment, reduce waste, and adopt low-carbon lifestyles.

The Himalayas, our crown jewel, are more than a destination—they are a living ecosystem:
fragile yet powerful, sacred yet vulnerable.

For tourism to flourish here, it must be guided by care, respect, and responsibility. Preserving these mountains requires collective action from governments, developers, travelers, and local communities.

Tourism has the potential to transform lives and landscapes—but only if sustainability becomes our shared path forward. Let’s create journeys that are meaningful, memorable, and mindful for generations to come.
