The Global Tourism Forum’s Tourism 20 plays a significant role in boosting world tourism growth, improving global tourism governance, and increasing people’s welfare in the tourism industry alongside other distinguished World Tourism Leaders.

The Tourism-20 Summit is a major forum for global tourism that brings together the world’s major Tourism Ministers in a roundtable setup. The theme of the Tourism 20 is building innovative, invigorated, interconnected, and inclusive strategies for world tourism.

Tourism-20 belongs to each and every one of its participants. In preparing for the Tourism-20, we consistently follow an open, transparent, and inclusive approach, strengthening communication and coordination with all other participants to jointly uphold, strengthen, and develop tourism worldwide.

The leaders discuss strategies to strengthen their policies to address global tourism growth, solve the problems of uneven development, encourage the development of tourism in different nations to integrate into global tourism governance, tap the potential of all countries, and boost cooperation in tourism investments.

As the Global Tourism Forum, we have been working to develop the tourism industry worldwide since 2010. With Tourism-20, we plan to add a successful organization to our list of high-level events. The valuable presence of Tourism Ministers helps us to serve world tourism in a more detailed way and provides the industry with various strategies to ensure sustainable tourism.
