World Tourism Day Celebration on the island of Rhodes

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 25, 2012 - The tourism industry is very important for several different reasons. Firstly it encourages the development of sustainable economic vitality by bringing positive income to the economy and creating new vacancies promoting this way the standards of living. The promotion of the holiday destination is of equal importance in terms of cultivating the culture and civilization of societies.  The United Nations World Tourism Organization has established World Tourism Day that is commemorated every year on September 27 so as to raise awareness about the importance of international tourism with this year’s theme being tourism and sustainable energy, powering sustainable development in order to promote environmental sustainability and green growth against the catastrophic climate change.

The enchanting island of Rhodes celebrated Tourism day on September 27th and 28 with a series of events promoting the island’s cultural heritage and tradition. Tourists were greeted at the island’s port and airport by locals dressed in traditional costumes handing out Rhodian Melekounia (a traditional nutritious energy snack) and island maps while traditional music, folk dances and feasts were held on various regions of the island.
