The partnership will focus on the conception, organisation, and production of the Global Tourism Forum (GTF), which is being organised in conjunction with the planned G20 Summit, as well as up to six regional meetings designed as a roadshow on the way to the GTF 2022 and hosted in various destinations in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.

As a leading international brand for tourism development and investment, the World Tourism Forum Institute is a global organisation dedicated to promoting emerging countries in the areas of tourism development, economic growth, tourism investment and workforce development within the tourism industry. In doing so, WTFI supports countries with its extensive market knowledge and various services in the field of tourism and marketing strategies, as well as through events of different formats to promote and support a country’s image internationally. Thus, WTFI is a crucial multiplier for developing sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism and the creation of jobs.

Targeting policymakers, and the wider travel and tourism industry, including MICE industry stakeholders, public and civil society organisations and investors, the Global Tourism Forum (GTF) is the largest business event within the global travel industry. Thousands of participants attend each year to discuss the latest trends in the industry in a variety of programme formats and to initiate forward-looking sustainable developments.
