The Nova Scotia Tourism Human Resource Council encourages Industry support of World Tourism Day activities in Nova Scotia taking place at the NSCC's new Waterfront Campus in Dartmouth. This year's theme is "Tourism Opens Doors for Women".
This year the Tourism Management students of Nova Scotia Community College with the support of industry are celebrating World Tourism Day from 6pm until 8 pm in the cafeteria of the new NSCC Waterfront Campus. This event will feature an accomplished and informative panel of professional women from the tourism industry in Nova Scotia.
World Tourism Day in 2007 is an occasion to celebrate women's achievements in the tourism sector and stimulate continuous action in support of UN's 3rd Millennium Development Goal: Promoting Gender Equality and Women Empowerment.
The main purpose of World Tourism Day is to foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic values.
The timing of World Tourism Day is indeed particularly appropriate in that it comes at the end of the high season in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of the season in the southern hemisphere, when tourism is of topical interest to hundreds of thousands of people worldwide from all walks of life and to tourists and the operational sector in particular.
For more information on the event, please contact Marc Simard at NSCC 491-4819 or marc.simard@nscc.ca
