The Vatican has issued a green message for World Tourism Day, saying tourism must adapt to climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
“However,” says the message from the president of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, Cardinal Antonio Maria Vegliò, “tourism not only contributes to global warming: it is also a victim of it.”
World Tourism Day, promoted by the World Tourism Organisation, is celebrated on September 27.
