The United Nations 70th General Assembly (UNGA) has designated the year 2017 as the "International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development".

This new initiative of the UNGA seeks to further the development among public and private sector decision makers and the public at large, while mobilising all stakeholders to work together in making tourism a catalyst for positive change.
The five specific areas in which the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development seeks to highlight international initiatives concerning responsible world travel are:
- Inclusive and sustainable economic growth
- Social inclusiveness, employment and poverty reduction
- Resource efficiency, environmental protection and climate change
- Cultural values, diversity and heritage
- Mutual understanding, peace and security
The International Year focus aims to support a change in policies, business practices and consumer behaviour towards a more sustainable tourism sector that can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UNO.
With the millions of tourists who travel around the globe, comes a tremendous pressure on airplane and automobile travel, hotel accommodation, additional energy usage, using public amenities like public transport, visiting museums and landmarks etc. not to mention a huge carbon footprint.
The World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), the UN Specialised Agency for Tourism has been mandated under the initiative to facilitate the organisation and implementation of the International Year, in collaboration with governments, relevant organisations of the United Nations System, international and regional organisations and other relevant stake-holders.

Spain: The tourism experience: A popular tourist destination:
Spain is a attractive destination for millions of tourists who are attracted to the cultural and historical aspects of Spanish life. These tourists look forward to visiting and exploring Spanish heritage and to experience Spain's extra-ordinary and varied natural beauty as well as the architecture that cities like Madrid, Seville and Barcelona can offer. Spain has several extra-ordinary beaches and coastal communities like Costa del Sol, Marbella, Ibiza and the Canary Islands and mountainous regions of the Pyrenees, which separates Spain and France and offers outdoor adventure.
The spurt in tourism would entail the need to preserve both the urban and rural regions in a big way.
