In today’s tense geopolitical climate—exacerbated by unstable global governance, the rollback of climate policies, the weakening of multilateral alliances, and persistent economic uncertainty, AWFT endeavors to bring together these captains of industry to collectively discuss and collaborate to ensure a coordinated response.
Join us for A World for Travel, a two-day forum hosted by Rajan Datar from BBC, featuring plenary sessions, keynotes, and engaging one-on-one conversations with industry leaders. The first day will end with an awards dinner to recognize five compagnies for their positive impact. More details on Award page.
