But in order to deliver its full benefits, this force must be protected and nurtured.&nbsp;<br>Today, the climate emergency is threatening many travel destinations and the very survival of communities and economies that depend on tourism. And many developing countries that are severely affected by a changing climate are also facing a growing investment deficit and a cost-of-living crisis.<br>On this World Tourism Day, we recognize the vital need for green investments to build a tourism sector that delivers for people and planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governments and businesses must invest in sustainable and resilient tourism practices. Private actors must adopt zero-emission pathways, lower their energy consumption and leverage renewable forms of energy. And everyone must protect the biodiversity and ecological balance of all destinations.<br>Targeted investments can deliver jobs and support local businesses and industries while mitigating the environmental impacts of tourism, empowering communities, promoting their cultures, and contributing to essential social protection systems.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>So let us all do more to harness the full potential of sustainable tourism. Because investing in sustainable tourism is investing in a better future for all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"1468\" src=\"https:\/\/voiceofmelange.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_20221228_065215.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voiceofmelange.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_20221228_065215.jpg 900w, https:\/\/voiceofmelange.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_20221228_065215-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voiceofmelange.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_20221228_065215-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNITED NATIONSSECRETARY-GENERAL MESSAGE THE SECRETARY-GENERALMESSAGE FOR WORLD TOURISM DAY\u201cTourism and green investment\u201d Tourism is a powerful force for progress and mutual understanding.
