"Our Global Summit will be the platform for the global recovery of this important industry. It is time for everyone to work together and move this sector forward. Our event will pave the way to recover millions of Travel & Tourism jobs which have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic," said Gloria Guevara, WTTC President and CEO.

Hygiene and safety protocols will be in place for all those attending in person including testing and regular health checks.
