AWFT’s fifth edition in Seville will discuss sustainable tourism’s progress, involving speakers from leading firms and examining new EU requirements and consumer expectations.
The fifth edition of A World for Travel (AWFT) will debate progress in sustainable tourism across the public and private sectors, with speakers from top industry firms and consumer brands.
The conference will take place on October 23-24 in Seville, alongside the Travel Innovation Summit (TIS).
Its focus on ESG (Environment, Sustainability and Governance) comes as the industry is adapting to new EU reporting requirements; financial institutions are requesting information about how companies are performing; and more consumers are demanding “travel with purpose”.
