WTTC Global Summit 2025

WTTC’s annual Global Summit is the most influential event in the Travel & Tourism calendar – a platform where the public and private sectors come together to shape the future of the industry.

Taking place from 28-30 September at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, the Summit will bring together titans of industry from Italy and around the world, alongside ministers, mayors, CEOs, and creative leaders, to shape the future of a sector that continues to prove its power to generate jobs, economic resilience, and global connection.

The event is hosted in partnership with the Italian Ministry of Tourism, ENIT (the Italian national tourist board), the Municipality of Rome, and the Lazio Region.

Rome is a fitting location for a sector that thrives on timeless beauty, innovation, and cultural exchange.

Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, said “Italy represents everything the world loves about travel — beauty, quality, culture and cuisine. Rome is the perfect stage for a Summit that will welcome the world’s tourism leaders to think boldly, act collaboratively, and help shape a decade of growth rooted in excellence.”
