World Tourism Day (September 27, 2024) — Tokyo Declaration on Sustainable Tourism

2030 Vision (Adopted at the 3rd JARTA Forum)

Now, along with the environmental crisis, the Tourism Crisis is looming. We must share this sense of urgency and take immediate action. 

 Today on World Tourism Day, the second movement of our sustainability journey starts. We declare our commitment to realize a 2030 sustainable society. Over the next six years, we must work diligently to speed up and further strengthen our initiatives. 

 Our future will depend on how responsibly we conduct our own business. We believe in the power of tourism and make the most of it to bring happiness to travelers, communities, the globe and as well as people engaged in the tourism industry. 

 Our future will be bleak if we don’t take any responsibility for those four key groups. For example, having a short-term perspective, and pursuing our own interests and exploiting local resources through irresponsible management. As a result, it causes various negative impacts on society, and the tourism industry loses further social credibility. 

 Our determination and responsibility are being questioned now. 

Each and every one of us pledges to work sustainably to envision what Japan should be in the future.　It is hereby declared as the “Sustainable Tourism Tokyo Declaration 2030 Vision”.

Our goal is to reach a total of 4.2 million supporters by September 27, 2030.

This objective is inspired by the "3.5% Rule"—the belief that if 3.5% of Japan's population (approximately 4.2 million out of 120 million people) signs in support, it can shift social consciousness and drive meaningful change.

We are actively welcoming signatures from anyone who wishes to support this cause.
