World Heritage Day, also known as International Day for Monuments and Sites, is celebrated on April 18th every year. The day is observed to raise awareness about the importance of preserving cultural heritage, including monuments, sites, and other cultural and natural landmarks around the world.
The day was first proposed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) in 1982 and was later approved by UNESCO in 1983. Since then, World Heritage Day has been celebrated every year with a particular theme and message.
The theme for World Heritage Day changes each year to focus on different aspects of heritage preservation. The aim is to promote cultural diversity and recognize the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. Some of the past themes have included “Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism” and “Complex Pasts: Diverse Futures.”
The day is also an opportunity to celebrate the cultural and historical significance of various sites and monuments around the world. Many countries organize events, exhibitions, and other activities to raise awareness about their cultural heritage and promote their local tourism industry.
Overall, World Heritage Day plays an essential role in preserving cultural heritage and promoting sustainable tourism while recognizing the significance of these sites to our shared cultural identity.

On this Heritage Day, I’d want to extend my warmest greetings to everyone. We are all part of the heritage, and we must all work together to preserve it.
The greatest error we are making is allowing our heritage to be lost in the rat rush of life. Everyone has a happy Heritage Day.
What you abandon isn’t what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. Monuments have lives woven into them.
Monuments are not for the dead but they are for those who are living.
Let us save them and preserve them. Warm wishes on Heritage Day.
