WTTC Lays Out Agenda for Next Global Travel & Tourism Summit

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has set the agenda for its sixth Global Travel & Tourism Summit this year. The annual gathering of the CEO-level group will take place from April 10 to 12 at the Washington Convention Center.

This year´s theme, "Open Mind, Open World" conveys the need to encourage cultural exchange, to promote better understanding between nations, and to bolster economies through increased business and leisure travel.

The summit´s agenda will reflect topical issues surrounding travel, and the far-reaching economic impact the travel and tourism industry has on a wide range of business sectors.

Topics range from the effects of aging populations to the promises of new technology, and the challenges of travel in a post-Sept. 11 world.
