In Manila, more than a thousand delegates, including the world\u2019s foremost business leaders, government ministers and key decision-makers from across the global Travel & Tourism sector gathered together, to discuss how to build upon the continuing recovery.<\/p>\n

In her farewell address Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, said: \u201cIt has been a privilege to bring together so many leaders from across the global Travel & Tourism sector to the beautiful city of Manila.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Summit is living proof that nothing beats getting together, sharing ideas, debating the challenges, and finding consensus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have a lot of work to do to bring down post-pandemic barriers, open economies and harmonise health data for seamless travel. But the future looks bright, and the next decade is there for the taking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to our 22nd Global Summit later this year in Riyadh, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to mark the next chapter in the sector\u2019s ongoing recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fahd Hamidaddin, CEO and Board Member of the Saudi Tourism Authority, said “We are excited to welcome the world to experience the excitement and the energy of Saudi. We promise you that the next summit will be fresh, inspiring, and rewarding.”<\/p>\n

Under the theme of \u2018Rediscovering Travel\u2019, tourism ministers and Travel & Tourism leaders from around the world reinforced their determination towards greater cooperation and alignment between the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

At WTTC\u2019s Global Leaders Dialogue session they explored how the sector will continue to adapt to COVID-19 and emerge resiliently from the pandemic.<\/p>\n

WTTC\u2019s latest Economic Impact Report also revealed the Travel & Tourism sector was expected to create nearly 126 million new jobs within the next decade and Travel & Tourism\u2019s contribution to GDP could reach pre-pandemic levels by 2023.<\/p>\n

WTTC\u2019s major \u2018Hotel Sustainability Basics\u2019 sustainability initiative was launched at its Global Summit, providing a starting point to drive sustainability throughout the hospitality sector to power the momentum toward responsible Travel & Tourism.<\/p>\n

The global body also launched its new cyber resilience report, \u2018Codes to resilience\u2019, with Microsoft, for the global Travel & Tourism sector, which outlined pillars to strengthen cyber security for businesses around the world.<\/p>\n
