International Day for Monuments and Sites 2017

April 18, 2017
 

Every year on 18th April, International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) celebrates the International Day for Monuments and Sites whose establishment was approved by the 22nd UNESCO General Conference in 1983.

This special day aims to bring global attention to conserve monuments and sites as our cultural heritage and to celebrate the diversity of this heritage.

In 2017, the theme is “Cultural Heritage & Sustainable Tourism”, chosen in relation to the United Nations International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development and in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals.
