Year of Peace
The United Nations (UN) proclaimed 2025 to be that International Year of Peace and Trust. This resolution is calling to the world to create more awareness for sustainable peace, mutual understanding and cooperation amongst all people. It further encourages all international organizations, businesses, academia, groups & individuals, to embrace & promote the value & advantages of peace, through public & private promotions.
Travel is the Language of Peace!
As Mahatma Gandhi once intuitively noted, "Travel is the language of peace."
If you have ever traveled, you surely recognize that travel & tourism serves as a powerful catalyst for peace. Through every journey and every interaction, traveler’s have the potential to become Ambassadors for Peace, whether exploring distant lands or simply engaging around their local community.
As members of the Tourism community, this gives each of us the unique opportunity to be peacebuilders by including elements of peace into every traveler’s journey. Connect with us today to support this year of peace and help us promote Peace through Travel & Tourism for the years ahead!
