The fifth edition of A World for Travel (AWFT) is set to take place on October 23-24 in Seville, Spain, alongside the Travel Innovation Summit (TIS). This year’s conference will focus on the progress made in sustainable tourism across both the public and private sectors, featuring speakers from leading industry firms and consumer brands.
The event will examine the implications of new EU reporting requirements and shifting consumer expectations, particularly the growing demand for sustainable travel. The agenda will cover five thematic areas: climate, energy transitions, financial services engagement, community, and communication. Notable speakers include representatives from Radisson Hotel Group, AXA, Sabre, Geotourist, Companie des Alpes, Intrepid, and the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).
Additionally, the conference will explore campaigns and programmes established by consumer brands such as Coca Cola, Nestle, Danone, and Michelin. Destinations like Greece, Oman, and Spain will share their strategies for addressing the climate crisis.
AWFT Secretary-General Christian Delom emphasized the conference’s goal: “This year’s AWFT24 aims to showcase where the industry is in its efforts and actions, both through the lens of the private and public sectors. By focusing on five thematic areas, the event aims to have concentrated discussions on how parties have tackled climate, energy transitions, financial services engagement, community and communication.”
Nominations for awards highlighting exceptional efforts in sustainability will open on August 1.
