The organisation’s president Jean-Claude Baumgarten added: “Encourged by the WTTC’s signature ‘in the round’ format, the active participation of all delegates and the frank exchange of ideas from all over the world will influence decisions taken by industry leaders, assuring the long term and responsible view of travel and tourism.

“The summit in Dubai will provide the ideal platform to broadcast the unity of our leaders in ensuring a sustainable future.”
