Invitation to the WTTC Exclusive Leadership Cruise, “At the Crossroads of
Culture, Connectivity & Cooperation”
Your Excellency,
We are pleased to acknowledge your leadership and commitment to advancing
the Travel & Tourism sector, a vital pillar of economic development, social
progress, and international cooperation.
We are honoured to extend a formal invitation to the World Travel & Tourism
Council (WTTC) Exclusive Leadership Cruise, to be held from 6–9 May 2026,
aboard Crystal Serenity by Crystal Cruises, transiting the Suez Canal, one of
the world’s most historic and strategic crossroads, linking continents,
cultures, and global trade routes.
The WTTC Leadership Cruise, “At the Crossroads of Culture, Connectivity &
Cooperation,” hosted by Abercrombie & Kent, will bring together senior leaders
from governments, businesses, and international institutions to advance
cooperation at a moment of profound geopolitical and economic change. As
part of the high-level programme, a Global Ministerial Dialogue will be
convened, and we would be honoured to welcome your participation.
As Travel & Tourism accounts for over 10% of global GDP and continues to
outpace overall economic growth, particularly across the Middle East and
North Africa region, this gathering will focus on how destinations located at the
intersection of regions, cultures, and historic trade routes can convert strategic
geography into long-term, resilient tourism leadership.
We would be honoured to welcome you to this unique occasion. Kindly confirm
your attendance via email at

Your sincerely,
Gloria Guevara Manfredi Lefebvre
President & CEO WTTC Chairman
