President Calderon of Mexico invites you to Join the World Travel and Tourism Council Summit

Travel & Tourism plays a very important role in economies of the Americas, and  the industry generates US$250 billion in exports, contributes 9% of GDP and supports 1 in 10 jobs.

The agenda of the Americas Summit will be “Travel & Tourism: Generating jobs now and in the future”.   Speakers will include CEOs from regional and global hotel companies, airlines, tour operators and online travel agencies; regional and G20 Ministers of Tourism.. Presentations of best practice from inside and outside the region will be combined with lively debates around future trends and current policies.

In 2012, Mexico has become the focus of world attention as it hosts the meeting of G20 country leaders in June 2012, and The WTTC Americas Summit is timed to bring the debate about the economic and social contributions of Travel & Tourism to the widest possible audience of world leaders, the media and public opinion.

Attendance at The Americas Summit is by invitation only, and is intended exclusively for those holding the most senior positions in Travel & Tourism in the public and private sector, and for related media.  If you wish to be considered for an invitation to this, or any other WTTC event, please send your name, job title and organisation to   toby.nicol@wttc.org with a brief statement of your eligibility.
