A High-Level Convening of Global Leadership in Davos

On January 20, 2026, concurrent with the World Economic Forum week, the Global Tourism Forum (GTF) will host an exclusive, high-level summit in Davos, Switzerland.

Designed as a strategic consultation platform rather than a conventional conference, this summit will be strictly limited to a delegation of 60 distinguished leaders.

The agenda is focused on two decisive, closed-door sessions that will shape the trajectory of the global travel economy:

🏛️ Session I: High-Level Political Dialogue (Heads of State)
A gathering of Presidents and Prime Ministers to address the intersection of tourism, soft-power diplomacy, and geopolitical stability.

💼 Session II: Private Sector Strategic Outlook
A roundtable for Global CEOs and Investment Fund Managers to define the roadmap for infrastructure financing, digital transformation, and sustainable economic growth.

We look forward to facilitating this critical dialogue between public authority and private capital.
