UNWTO, WTTC & WTM Ministers Gather in London For Tourism Roadmap

Tourism leaders from around the world will once again come together for the Ministers’ Summit at WTM London to set out a roadmap for a safer, greener and smarter future for the sector.

The summit is the largest annual gathering of tourism ministers and will feature a day-long think-tank on Monday 2nd November during WTM London – the leading global event for the travel industry.

About 100 ministers are expected to take part, along with 100 industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts.

For more than 10 years, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and WTM have partnered to use the London event to host a high-level summit, focusing on key challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

The 2020 Summit will present an opportunity for leaders to share their experiences and plans for recovery in a post-pandemic world.

Given the unprecedented scale of the challenge facing tourism, UNWTO and WTM will partner with the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), which represents the global travel & tourism private sector for the event for the first time in its history, making it the UNWTO, WTTC & WTM Ministers’ Summit.

Physical distancing and other safety measures will be in place, with Ministers and WTM London both committing to following Public Health England directives and government guidelines.
