Dear colleagues,
I trust this message finds you well.
I am pleased to follow up on our formal invitation for Hon. Erkki Keldo to
attend the 25th edition of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Global
Summit, held in Rome, Italy, from 28 to 30 September 2025.
This year’s Summit will convene the most prominent voices from across the
global Travel & Tourism sector, providing a unique platform for high-level
dialogue, strategic collaboration, and global visibility. We would be
honoured by your participation.
Highlights of the Summit include:
* A World-Class Programme
WTTC’s Global Summit is the foremost gathering of public and private sector
leaders from across our industry and beyond. Previous editions have welcomed
esteemed speakers such as former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon; U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry; former UK Prime Ministers Tony Blair, David
Cameron, and Theresa May; Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama; and
several sitting Heads of State and Tourism Ministers from across the globe.
* Global Leaders’ Dialogue
A high-level moderated session uniting Ministers and CEOs for an open
exchange on shared priorities, sectoral challenges, and opportunities to
strengthen public-private collaboration.
* Strategic Networking Opportunities
The Summit offers unparalleled engagement with Chairs, Presidents and Chief
Executives of the world's leading private sector businesses across
hospitality groups, tour operators, online platforms, cruise lines, aviation
and more, which may serve as a valuable opportunity for future partnerships
and investment. Should there be interest, we would be delighted to
facilitate introductions with WTTC Members for the coordination of bilateral
meetings. A full list of our Members is available [
<https://wttc.org/membership/our-members> here].
* Global Media Exposure
The Summit attracts significant international media coverage, offering a
strategic opportunity to spotlight national tourism leadership and
investment potential on a global stage. Journalists from around the world
will be present at the Summit, from a wide range of outlets including CNBC,
Euronews, Forbes, Le Figaro, The Guardian, and Travel Weekly.
Please find attached the Summit at a Glance, which provides a preliminary
overview of the programme. The full agenda is currently being finalised and
will be shared in due course.
We sincerely hope to welcome your delegation in Rome and would be pleased to
provide any further information you may require.
With kind regards,
Government Affairs Team

for collaboration and growth.
With Rome as the backdrop, the 2025 Global Summit promises to be a
spectacular event, with a spotlight on the latest developments in digital
transformation, regenerative tourism, and investment strategies, alongside
discussions on the growing importance of technology in driving the sector
forward.
