Cancun set to host WTTC Global Summit

From April 21-23, all roads will lead to the Mexican city of Cancun for the Global Summit of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).

The event was initially slated to take place in Puerto Rico but was moved to Cancun due to seismic activity in the southern region of the country, but WTTC has announced that a major event in San Juan, Puerto Rico will be held later this year.

According to Gloria Guevara, President, CEO of WTTC, WTTC remains strongly committed to supporting Puerto Rico’s amazing comeback story.

“WTTC remains strongly committed to supporting Puerto Rico’s amazing comeback story as seen in their record-breaking year in tourism last year. Although the island was ready to welcome us with open arms this April, despite the recent seismic activity in the southern region, reallocating resources to continue this great momentum is the right thing to do in order to further boost tourism. We are looking forward to hosting an event in Puerto Rico later this year. This switch to Cancun will enable us to host a Global Summit focused on the opportunities and challenges facing our sector in 2020 and beyond, which will help to grow tourism further. The 20th Global Summit will benefit and showcase not only Mexico but the wider regions of the US, Latin America and the Caribbean” she announced.

Guevara further revealed that WTTC remains committed to its aim of promoting sustainable growth for the tourism sector globally.

“WTTC’s mission is to promote sustainable growth for the Travel and Tourism sector globally, so it has decided to change the location of the Global Summit given what is best for Puerto Rico at this time. The financial resources that had been set aside will instead be focused on impactful, consumer-facing campaigns and marketing efforts that strongly promote Puerto Rico’s “open for tourism” message and drive immediate visitor numbers to the Island” she added.

The WTTC Global Summit will now take place in Cancun, Mexico, from 21st to 23rd April 2020, with the dates for the upcoming official WTTC event in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to be announced in the near future.
