Global tourism summit to take place in Hawaii in October

 Monday, September 10, 2018 

The theme of this year’s Global Tourism Summit, “Charting the Course,” highlights the ever-present need for destinations and travel suppliers for harmonizing the power of tourism’s popularity worldwide with its effect on residents and communities.

 
The summit’s four keynote speakers will address tourism’s economic influence globally along with its challenges — with airlines, accommodations and activities adjusting to emerging industry trends and changing consumer interests in the competitive world of destination travel and hospitality.

 
Hosted by the Hawaii Tourism Authority, the Global Tourism Summit would take place in October from 1-3 at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu. The need to strive for sustainable tourism, the significance of Hawaiian culture, Hawaii’s global marketing programs in 2019, and new travel innovations will be highlighted in thought-provoking sessions, presentations and panel discussions at the summit.

 
George Szigeti, HTA president and CEO said, “The Global Tourism Summit’s overriding objective is focusing on how tourism can continually be improved for everyone’s benefit, both in Hawaii and around the world. We have four outstanding keynote speakers who will address topics important to anyone who cares about tourism and its future.”
