This international conference attracted experts from 15 countries and 20 different universities, encompassing a mix of public and private sectors, research institutions, and various organizations.

Mr. Luigi Cabrini, GSTC Chair, was present at the event and participated in the Innovative Talk Discussion about “Sustainable Tourism – Environmental Responsibility and Ecological Transition” along with colleagues: José Juan Lorenzo, Promotur Government of the Canary Islands, Rachel Dodds from Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management (Canada), Christoph Kiessling from Loro Parque Foundation and Manuel Ferreira from TUI Care Foundation; the discussion was moderated by D. Miguel Sanz Castedo, General Manager of Turespaña.

Mr. Cabrini emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts in sustainable tourism, stating, “Only through collective action and shared responsibility can we ensure the future of tourism is both environmentally and economically sustainable. We must work together across sectors and borders to implement practices that protect our natural resources, support local communities, and create resilient tourism economies. Our collective commitment to sustainability will shape the future of travel and tourism for generations to come.”

The agenda was packed with workshops, keynote addresses, and panel debates, offering a rich environment for exchanging ideas and industry best practices. The attendees participated in dynamic sessions, connected with leading figures in the field, and delved into creative solutions addressing both present and anticipated tourism issues.
