The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) announced the 25th
edition of its Global Summit will take place at the Auditorium Parco della
Musica in Rome, Italy, on September 28-30, 2025.
WTTC will join forces with Italy’s Ministry of Tourism, the
Italian National Tourist Board (ENIT), and the Municipality of Rome and the
Lazio Region to unite business leaders, government representatives, and
industry pioneers to discuss the pressing challenges and opportunities for the
global travel and tourism sector.
“I’m delighted to be bringing our Global Summit back to
Europe, to shine a spotlight on the iconic city of Rome,” WTTC President and
CEO Julia Simpson said. “One of the world’s most popular city destinations,
Rome will provide the perfect setting for our Members, government
representatives and distinguished guests, who will travel from all corners of
the globe.”
“I would like to thank Minister Santanchè and ENIT for
hosting our Global Summit, which I am sure will be a spectacular event,” Simpson
continued.
The 2025 event will focus on the latest developments in
digital transformation, regenerative tourism, and investment strategies,
alongside discussions on the growing importance of technology in driving the
sector forward.
This year’s WTTC Global Summit will provide a stage to
showcase the latest developments and commitments driving the sector forward,
ensuring travel and tourism remain a key pillar for economies worldwide.
“We would like to thank WTTC for choosing the Italian
capital as the venue for the Summit, and the Municipality of Rome and the Lazio
Region, which immediately welcomed the initiative with enthusiasm; we are
confident that this event will contribute to raising the profile of Rome and
Italy on the international tourism scene,” Italian Tourism Minister Daniela
Santanchè said.
