Today is World Tourism Day! It seems like every other day is an “International Day of ‘Something’” but World Tourism Day is celebrated every year on September 27th to raise awareness about the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political, and economic value. Here’s what’s special about it:

🌍 Purpose and Importance
1. Promotes Responsible Tourism: It encourages sustainable and inclusive tourism that benefits both travelers and host communities.
2. Highlights Tourism’s Impact: Tourism creates jobs, supports local economies, and fosters global understanding and cultural exchange.
3. Supports Global Development: The UN sees tourism as a key driver in achieving its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

📅 Why September 27?
• This date was chosen because it marks the anniversary of the adoption of the UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) Statutes in 1970, which laid the foundation for modern global tourism cooperation.

🌐 Global Celebrations
• Governments, travel companies, cultural institutions, and communities host events like:
• Cultural festivals
• Tourism fairs
• Public speeches and forums
• Social media campaigns
• Educational activities in schools and universities

✈️

World Tourism Day is special because it reminds us that tourism is more than travel: it’s about building bridges between cultures, boosting economies, and protecting our planet when done right.

Share with us below ⬇️ one way that tourism has been valuable in your life - we’d love to hear from you!

Although we’re not quite certain who to credit for this video, it is real! During rainy season we often have electric storms and although we don’t recommend standing outside during a lightning storm, we do appreciate the amazing video 😂

Think about being early human civilizations and watching this…no wonder they believed in Gods or other worldly beings. Earth and sky teamed up for this insane moment

Volcán de Fuego, or “Volcano of Fire,” is one of Central America’s most active and iconic volcanoes, located in southern Guatemala near the colonial city of Antigua. Unlike typical thunderstorm lightning, volcanic lightning forms when ash particles within an eruption plume collide, generating static electricity.

Canícula is here! A short period of dry, hot weather in the midst of rainy season is something we always look forward to. While most travelers are hesitant to book a trip during rainy season, it’s still a great time to visit if you can prepare for the potential for a bit of rain in the afternoons.

Guatemala’s gastronomy is often a mystery to those who have never visited. It’s not something you easily find outside of Guatemala or areas where there are communities of Guatemalans living abroad. Local cooking classes on offer in Guatemala consistently get rave reviews but we know not everyone can visit. To learn a bit about the local specialities enjoyed here, you can tune in on June 18th on Netflix to catch the episode of “Somebody Feed Phil” that features Guatemalan cuisine! Come hungry :)

So many of our clients RAVE about the cooking classes we offer. However, most people have NO idea what Guatemalan food is actually like! Tune in on June 18th as Netflix launches a new episode of “Somebody Feed Phil” and learn about Guatemala’s unique flavors and gastronomy.
