WTTC Global Summit takes place next month

Sunday, 15 Mar, 2018 0

The World Travel & Tourism Council 2018 Global Summit will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on April 18-19.

With the theme of ‘Our People, Our World, Our Future’, industry leaders will debate how the sector is placed to ‘create sustainable jobs in a future of transformational technology, increasing environmental pressures, and in a world where security concerns are paramount’.

Among the speakers are CEOs and leaders from WTTC member companies including AirBnB, Abercrombie & Kent, Carnival Corporation, Hilton, Hotelbeds, Thomas Cook and TUI.

Sessions will explore what is needed to sustain the sector’s growth and the industry’s response to climate change.

Discussions will also tackle the use of technology, such as biometrics, to increase travel safety and how to increase resilience in the face of pandemics, terrorism and natural disasters.
