National Tourist Appreciation Day

Date When Celebrated: Always on May 6

National Tourist Appreciation Day - if you are a tourist today, expect to be pampered. But, wait a minute. As a tourist, you should be pampered every day, period.

Vacations are too infrequent, and too far in between. When you go away on vacation, and spend good, hard earned money, you expect and deserve to be treated well. You have earned (and are paying for) the right to be coddled, pampered and attended to.

You can, and should expect hotels, restaurants, attractions, and other tourist venues to do this day up in a big way. If these tourist spots don't know about the holiday, let them know about it in advance. Then, plan your vacation to coincide with today's holiday.  When you book your reservations, say something like "I'd like to make a reservation on National Tourist Appreciation Day, for........". They will quickly get the picture.

If you are a tourist who just can't get enough apreciation, National Tourism Day is just a couple weeks awayy.
