Stay Human. Celebrating World Tourism Day 2024

Research output: Contribution to Specialist PublicationBulletin/Magazine

Abstract

In this article, titled "Stay Human. Celebrating World Tourism Day 2024 – Tourism and Peace," I reflect on the distinction between being a traveler and a tourist, and how the essence of travel can truly make tourism an "industry of peace." While tourism has the potential to be a vehicle for peace, this can only happen when we return to its core—travel. I share personal stories and experiences from my journeys that highlight the transformative power of authentic human connections, in contrast to the commodified experiences often sought by tourists. In doing so, I advocate for a shift towards a deeper, more human form of travel, where we embrace our vulnerabilities and rediscover our shared humanity.
