附：首屆世界旅游發(fā)展大會會歌（中文）

全球旅游人是一家

——首屆世界旅游發(fā)展大會會歌

呂優(yōu)勝

全球旅游人是一家，

旅游愉悅你我他。

登崇山，涉汀沙，

觀海潮，賞朝霞。

說走就走，

肩背行囊游天涯。

全球旅游人是一家，

旅游教化你我他。

行萬里，長才華，

親環(huán)境，惜芳葩。

傳播文明，

永葆世間萬象佳。

全球旅游人是一家，

旅游連接你我他。

跨國界，越種族，

你好嗎（how are you）?一杯茶。

播種友誼，

世界盛開和平花。

啦—啦—啦

丟憂愁，享閑暇，

身心健，能量加。

游遍地球游月球，

世界旅游再出發(fā)！
