It was established at the Third Session of the WTO General Assembly in Torremolinos, Spain, in Septembre of 1979. The purpose of this day is to display awareness that tourism is vital to the international community and to show how it affects the social, cultural, political and economic values worldwide. Each year, there is a new theme, and a host country as the WTO's partner for celebrating World Tourism Day, which is selected by the WTO General Assembly. 1, record 2, English, - World%20Tourism%20Day

C'est lors de sa troisième session (Torremolinos, Espagne, septembre 1979) que l'Assemblée générale de l'Organisation mondiale du tourisme (OMT) décida d'instituer, à compter de l'année 1980, une «Journée mondiale du tourisme» à célébrer le 27 septembre de chaque année par des manifestations adaptées au thème choisi par l'Assemblée générale, sur recommandation du Conseil exécutif de l'OMT. Cette date a été retenue parce qu'elle marque un jalon important pour le tourisme mondial : l'anniversaire de l'adoption des Statuts de l'OMT le 27 septembre 1970. Le principal objectif de la Journée mondiale du tourisme est de faire prendre davantage conscience à la communauté internationale de l'importance du tourisme et de ses valeurs sociale, culturelle, politique et économique. 2, record 2, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20mondiale%20du%20tourisme

En su tercera reunión (Torremolinos, España, septiembre de 1979), la Asamblea General de la Organización Mundial del Turismo (OMT) decidió instituir a partir de 1980 un Día Mundial del Turismo que se conmemoraría el 27 de septiembre de cada año con actos adecuados sobre temas que seleccionaría la Asamblea General de la OMT por recomendación de su Consejo Ejecutivo de la OMT. La elección de esta fecha obedece a su coincidencia con un importante jalón en el turismo mundial: el aniversario de la adopción de los Estatutos de la OMT el 27 de septiembre de 1970. La principal finalidad del Día Mundial del Turismo es fomentar el conocimiento entre la comunidad internacional de la importancia del turismo y sus valores sociales, culturales, politicos y económicos. 1, record 2, Spanish, - D%C3%ADa%20Mundial%20del%20Turismo

Online chatting session means have a text-based conversation--you type a message on your screen and someone sees it on the other end immediately. The person at the other end then responds and the "chatting" begins. The speed of your typing, your Internet connection and host response times are the only limitations from the conversation truly taking place in real-time. 5, record 3, English, - Internet%20Relay%20Chat%20session
