The two-day, Davos-style event aims to transform the travel industry to embrace sustainability in all aspects of its activities including environmental, social, economic and climatic.

In its second year, AWFT - making travel sustainable, will offer two days of high level discussions, sharing of best practice and lessons learned in the public and private sectors. Speakers will address how to approach the human aspect and travel’s impact on a destination, business, community, their economy and adaptation to climate change.

Ministers and dignitaries from more than 20 destinations around the world, business leaders and experts will set out their visions and policies. Influential corporations Mastercard, Google, Costa Cruises, American Express GBT, Accor, Centaurus, SNCF, Roland Berger and Pierre et Vacances will be among dozens at the event.

“A World for Travel is not just another forum, it is a unifying event,” said Christian Delom, AWFT Secretary General.
