WTN Chairman Juergen Steinmetz said from the WTN Headquarters in Honolulu, Hawaii:

“This World Tourism Day is different. It’s a new beginning for much of our industry. Rethinking Tourism started during COVID lockdowns, with reopening this world step by step, one immunization at a time. We’re living a new reality and learned to operate this important industry with COVID.”

“Tourism is no longer just a number game. Climate Change, respecting communities, protecting the importance of Small and Medium Size tourism players, including women and minorities, the global safety and security reality, meaningful investments, and bringing the excitement back for job seekers to work in our sector. All of this is forcing our industry to change. “

“We all have learned over the last two years. This showed resilience and the need to work together. Tourism has no borders, but it sustains the livelihood of so many.”

“Most of the world is ready to relaunch travel. According to the just released UNWTO Barometer, many destinations have record growth, and overall tourism is back 60%.

Uncertainty in the economy and current challenges for world security, energy, and food supply is part of the resilience tourism needs to sail through in the near and medium future. It takes knowledge, experience, and tourism patriots to do this. Any future prediction is weak and often not realistic.”

“It takes people with a vision and understanding and not always with a title to lead this industry. Leadership has to be inclusive. No one has the monopoly here. We must invest in educating and empowering the next generation to take ownership of the future of our sector.”

“I received this poem today from a friend, a true regional tourism leader with a global mindset, a WTN Tourism Hero, the Hon. Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett from Jamaica:

“This lovely poem was written by Mario de Andrade (San Paolo 1893-1945) Poet, novelist, essayist, and musicologist. He was one of the founders of Brazilian modernism.

My Soul Has a Hat

I counted my years & realized that I have less time to live by than I have lived so far.

I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first, he ate them with pleasure,
But when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely.

I have no time for endless meetings where the statutes, rules, procedures & internal regulations are discussed,
knowing that nothing will be done.

I no longer have the patience
To stand absurd people who,
despite their chronological age,
have not grown up.

My time is too short:
I want the essence,
my spirit is in a hurry.
I do not have much candy
In the package anymore.

I want to live next to humans, very realistic people who know
How to laugh at their mistakes,
Who are not inflated by their own triumphs & who take responsibility for their actions.
In this way, human dignity is defended and we live in truth and honesty.

It is the essentials that make life useful.
I want to surround myself with people
who know how to touch the hearts of those whose hard strokes of life have learned to grow with the sweet touches of the soul.

We have two lives

& the second begins when you realize you only have one.
