The history of World Tourism Day originates in 1925 in The Hague. At that time, the United Nations World Tourism Organization was created.

Tourism Day was established in 1979 during the Assembly of UNWTO. The date was not chosen at random – on 27 September 1970, World Tourism Organization adopted its statutes by which it is guided to this day. Russia also celebrates the holiday, and in 2021, this tradition is 38 years old.
During the event, kids became acquainted with the history of emergence of the holiday and with the traditions of celebrating it. The schoolchildren also knew how people celebrate the International Tourism Day in different countries of the world. Kids actively played riddles and participated in a quiz.
