Mr. Scowsill has been President of WTTC since 2010. Prior to that he had senior executive positions in several travel-related companies. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) is the only global body that brings together all major players in the Travel & Tourism sector (airlines, hotels, cruise lines, car rental, travel agencies, tour operators, GDS and technology) enabling them to speak with one voice to governments and international bodies.
With Chief Executive Officers of more than 140 of the world’s leading travel companies as its members, WTTC has a unique mandate and overview on all matters related to the industry. WTTC works to raise awareness of travel and tourism as one of the world’s largest economic sectors supporting 284 million jobs and generating 9.9% of GDP.
Other featured speakers will be: Dr. Taleb Rifai, Secretary General, UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO); H.E. Ms. Janice Charette, Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland; Dr. Mario Hardy, Chief Executive Officer, Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA); and Ms. Susanna Saari, Vice President, Skal International.
2017年が国連の持続可能な開発のための観光年であると宣言されたことにより、IIPTセッションは、過去30年間の平和と持続可能性の推進力としての観光の進歩と、今後数年間のさらなる進歩のための業界リーダーのビジョンに焦点を当てます.
持続可能な観光の概念は、1988 年にバンクーバーで開催された IIPT の第 XNUMX 回世界会議で初めて導入されました。その後、IIPT はその実装に向けた初期の取り組みを先駆けて行いました。
– 1992 – 世界初の持続可能な観光のための倫理規定とガイドラインを開発。
– 1993 – 「ベストプラクティスのモデル」に関する世界初の国際調査を実施。そして
– 1994 – モントリオールで持続可能な観光に関する最初の主要な国際会議を開催しました。
IIPT Founder and President, Louis D’Amore stated, “We are honored to have David Scowsill joining us as a featured speaker at our World Travel Market event particularly as WTTC is the main private sector voice of the industry. He continued, “IIPT will use the World Travel Market platform to announce IIPT’s 30th Anniversary Global Summit and plans for IIPT’s 30th Anniversary Year.
Other special announcements will be made by Ms. Leslie Dance, Vice President, Hawaii Tourism Authority; Tajamul Hussein, CheckINN TV. and Juergen T. Steinmetz, Chairman, International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP).
We look forward to you joining us.”
