What to Expect

Among the issues to be discussed will be the increased engagement with local communities, the importance of meetings and events in recovery, effective marketing tactics, and rebuilding through sustainability at this important inflection point.

Across a series of conversations with destination marketing CEOs, research presentations, editorially driven panels, and interviews with sustainability experts, this summit will dive into the big questions facing global tourism’s recovery, including:

  • How are destinations shifting strategies to be more community and stakeholder-driven?
  • Is there a business case for sustainability, and what are the new metrics that destinations should be measuring?
  • In a year without tourism, how have government leaders realized the economic importance of tourism and are giving it a bigger seat at the table?
  • As cities fill with tourists once again, how can destinations foster a more distributed return beyond the hot spots?
  • How should destinations reshape their storytelling as travel returns, and who’s hitting the right tone?
  • What are some of the top business-centered cities doing to not just prepare, but actively seed the return of large scale events in 2022?
  • How can tourism better include local communities as stakeholders?

This event will be a must-attend event for anyone looking to understand the future of tourism and the strategies that are successfully involving communities, businesses, and travelers. As always, editors will take questions from the audience as the event streams live.
