At its 25th Global Summit in Rome today, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) launched its latest report, revealing that Europe remains the beating heart of international tourism, with five of the world’s top 10 most powerful Travel & Tourism markets by GDP.

The return of the WTTC Global Summit to Europe, for the first time since the pandemic reflects the region’s enduring global leadership.

Italy’s position as a G7 nation and as host of this year’s Global Summit further underlines its leadership role, building on hosting last year’s first-ever G7 Tourism Ministers’ Meeting.
According to the latest data, Italy’s Travel & Tourism sector reached $248.3BN last year, underpinned by strong international visitor spend and a booming meetings and events industry.

Germany, the world’s third most powerful Travel & Tourism market, contributed $525BN to its GDP in 2024.

Despite losing £2.2BN international visitors spending last year, the UK added $367BN to its economy, maintaining its position as one of the strongest and most dynamic markets worldwide.

France, the world’s most visited destination, generated over $289BN from Travel & Tourism in 2024, whilst Spain, the second most visited country in the world, added $270BN.

This broad-based growth demonstrates Europe’s ability to blend heritage with innovation, maintain global competitiveness, and lead the way in sustainable tourism development.

WTTC Interim CEO Gloria Guevara said: “These results tell a story of strength and opportunity. The U.S. remains the world’s largest Travel & Tourism market, China is surging back, Europe is powering ahead, and destinations across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa are delivering record growth. This year, we are forecasting that our sector will contribute an historic $2.1TN in 2025, surpassing the previous high of $1.9TN in 2019, by $164BN.

“As Italy hosts this year’s Global Summit, its role as a G7 leader showcases the importance of tourism in driving economies, creating jobs, and shaping our shared future.”

Around the World

The report also reveals that the U.S. remains the world’s most powerful Travel & Tourism market, contributing $2.6TN to GDP in 2024, with its domestic market remaining the strongest in the world, sustaining millions of jobs and underpinning sector resilience.

However, WTTC forecasts international visitor spending in the U.S. will fall by $12.5BN in 2025, leaving growth at just +0.7%. WTTC has warned that without destination promotion, traveller-friendly policies, and reduced visa costs, it could lose its competitive edge.

China, the world’s second-largest Travel & Tourism market, contributed $1.64TN to its economy in 2024, and is forecast to surge by 22.7% in 2025, adding $260BN to its economy, highlighting China’s rapid return to international prominence and its pivotal role in shaping global travel flows.

Japan, the world’s fifth largest Travel & Tourism economy with a $310.5BN contribution in 2024, is forecast to add a further $13.8BN to its GDP this year to reach almost $325BN.

Travel & Tourism is now growing faster than the consumer goods sector, showing how people increasingly value experiences over material goods.

The Economic Impact Research Trends report shows that Travel & Tourism is cementing its role as a cornerstone of the global economy.

Middle East Momentum

The Middle East remains one of the fastest-growing regions in the world for Travel & Tourism, with Saudi Arabia continuing to stand out as a global powerhouse, with inbound visitor spend surging and infrastructure investment reaching record levels.

Across the region, capital is flowing into airports, cruise terminals, and cutting-edge hospitality projects, signalling long-term confidence in its ambition to become a global tourism hub.

Jobs Boom Across the World

According to the report, Travel & Tourism supported 357MN jobs in 2024 and is set to rise to 371MN in 2025, along with an increase in the sector’s share of global employment.

By 2035, one in eight jobs worldwide will be supported by Travel & Tourism, with an additional 91MN new jobs supported, the majority in the Asia-Pacific region, resulting in one in three new jobs globally supported by the sector.

Long-Term Confidence

Confidence in Travel & Tourism remains unshakable. Global investment in the sector surpassed $1TN in 2024, up 9.9% year-on-year, and is forecast to continue climbing in 2025.

The U.S., China, Saudi Arabia, and France together accounted for more than half a trillion dollars of that investment.

Italy attracted €11.4BN in 2024, reinforcing its position as one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for sustainable and innovative tourism development.

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

Other WTTC Partners include Antonio Lefebvre d’Ovidio Di Bolsonaro Philantrophy, Arsenale Spa, Chase Travel (JPMC), Giacomo Milano, MMGY, MSC Group, Terme di Saturnia, and Trip.com Group.

This year’s event is more than simply a display, it is a celebration of speed, luxury and craftsmanship as Wynn brings together exciting crossovers between automotive legends and luxury fashion brands – many of them making their debuts in Asia. The goal of this must-see event is to give visitors from around the world an opportunity to immerse themselves in a series of specially curated ‘Tourism + Sports’ experiences found .

Wynn hosts opening ceremony for the “Wynn Signature – 2025 Hypercar Exhibition”
Today, Wynn hosted a spectacular opening ceremony for the “Wynn Signature – 2025 Hypercar Exhibition” at Wynn Palace. Official dignitaries attending the event included: Ms. Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO); Mr. Jeremy Ho, Head of Events Promotion and International Relations Division of the Sports Bureau of the Macao SAR Government; Mr. Frederic Luvisutto, Chief Operating Officer of Wynn Macau, Limited; Mr. Craig Fullalove, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of Wynn Macau, Limited; Ms. Zoe Zou, Chief Marketing Officer of Resort Marketing of Wynn Macau, Limited; Mr. Wilson Ning, Chief Marketing Officer of Casino Marketing of Wynn Macau, Limited, as well as international media. Adding a splash of color to the opening, Swiss artist Saiff Vasarhelyi surprised and delighted guests as he brought the sleek aerodynamics of the McLaren 600LT to life with his astonishing, real-time spray-painting performance.

Mr. Frederic Luvisutto, Chief Operating Officer of Wynn Macau, Limited said: ‘The “Wynn Signature – 2025 Hypercar Exhibition” is not only a tribute to the pinnacle of automotive excellence — it reflects our vision to redefine luxury through immersive, world-class experiences.

Wynn also jointly held a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Macao Government Tourism Office and the Sports Bureau this morning to officially launch the “Macao Grand Prix Museum x Wynn Chocolate Supercar Exhibition”, where a futuristic Wynn Chocolate Supercar sporting vibrant lines and explosive colors, is on display now through November 16. In a special crossover collaboration that blends artistic gastronomy with urban street art, Wynn’s award-winning Master Pastry Artist Bob Tay has teamed up with Swiss artist Saiff Vasarhelyi to create a visually stunning chocolate supercar. Master Tay cleverly used three distinct concentrations of chocolate – 70% for depth, 67% for balance and 38% for sweetness – to create a streamlined “supercar canvas” for Saiff to unleash his creativity. Together, the artists spent a combined 300 hours to meticulously handcraft and spray paint the chocolate sports car which spans 2.9 meters and weighs 100 kilograms. The supercar is a masterful blend of technology and art, where “speed gains flavor” to present a surprising new exhibition experience that truly stimulates the senses. Following the success of last year’s head-turning display of the Wynn Special Chocolate F1 at the museum, Wynn is pleased to introduce this new futuristic chocolate car to promote Macao’s motorsport culture and showcase Macao as a “Creative City of Gastronomy”.

Ras Al Khaimah’s Inaugural International Real Estate Investment Summit
Ras Al Khaimah is set to take centre stage as the UAE reinforces its position as a magnet for global real estate investment with the inaugural International Real Estate Investment Summit (IREIS), scheduled for October 30–31, 2025. The two-day event by Cityscape, hosted at Al Hamra International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Ras Al Khaimah, aims to provide an unprecedented platform to unlock high-value real estate opportunities by connecting investors, developers, and policymakers to offer insight into both regional growth and emerging global trends.

Designed as a forum without borders, the summit will spotlight the UAE’s transformation and the wider evolution of global real estate markets — from shifting capital flows in Europe and Asia, to the rise of sustainable urban models in North America, while also examining market trends, investment strategies, and innovations shaping the next era of real estate.

Global real estate investment turnover is forecasted to grow by 27% to USD 952 billion in 2025, surpassing USD 1 trillion by 2026, according to Savills, a leading global property advisor. The UAE is already emerging as a key beneficiary, attracting USD 45.6 billion in FDI (foreign direct investment) in 2024, a 48.7% year-on-year increase, with real estate accounting for nearly 7.8% of greenfield project values.

The UAE’s real estate sector has been gaining remarkable momentum. Dubai recorded AED 326 billion (approximately US$89 billion) in transactions in the first half of 2025, a 39% year-on-year increase, with new investors rising by 22%. Residential and prime-segment sales continue to climb, while rental yields remain among the highest in the world, reflecting a resilient and lucrative market that continues to attract international attention. Analysts note that the country’s strategic location, economic stability, and progressive regulations have positioned it as a key hub for capital flowing across East and West.

New data further underscores the scale of international interest. Between 2014 and 2024, international property transactions in the UAE recorded a 106% increase, highlighting growing confidence from overseas buyers.

Since the 2022 announcement of Wynn Al Marjan Island, the first integrated resort in the region coming up on Marjan’s flagship “Al Marjan Island”, international purchases in Ras Al Khaimah have shown a compound annual growth rate of 9.2% up to 2025 year-to-date, with demand extending beyond Al Marjan Island to areas including Al Hamra Village, Mina, and central Ras Al Khaimah. Currently, 66% of transactions across the UAE are from international buyers, with locals and expatriates accounting for the remaining 34%.

Against this backdrop, Ras Al Khaimah is emerging as a quietly powerful player. The Emirate’s proximity to Dubai, investor-friendly policies, and strategic developments are attracting international interest. Among these, the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island is driving significant FDI into Ras Al Khaimah, enriching the Emirate’s reputation as a global destination for luxury living and tourism. On Al Marjan Island specifically, global investors are drawn to premier solutions and access to best-in-class infrastructure and community assets. Here, international investors contribute 68% of total investment volumes, compared to 32% from UAE-based buyers, underscoring its global pull.

The debut International Real Estate Investment Summit (IREIS) is supported by Headline Sponsor Marjan, Strategic Sponsors Al Hamra and RAK Hospitality Holding, and Diamond Sponsor RAK Properties.

Cityscape’s unparalleled expertise in convening industry pioneers adds both credibility and depth to the summit, ensuring Ras Al Khaimah’s developments are uniquely positioned within a global context. Attendees will gain access to high-level discussions on capital flows, cross-border opportunities, and lifestyle-driven real estate, all set against the backdrop of one of the UAE’s most promising emerging markets.

The highly anticipated summit on October 30–31 will be a pivotal moment where global real estate ambition intersects with regional growth, innovation, and lifestyle transformation. With Ras Al Khaimah at its heart, the summit offers a glimpse into the next chapter of investment opportunity in the UAE and beyond.
