World's biggest tourism summit confirmed for WA

• Western Australia selected to host World Travel & Tourism Council Global Summit in October 2024
• Global leaders to attend and discuss travel, trade and tourism over multi-day summit in Perth
• Previous attendees include former USA President Barack Obama and French President Emmanuel Macron
• Supported by the Western Australian Government, Business Events Perth, and Business Events Australia

Global leaders from some of the world's biggest companies will come together to discuss tourism and trade after Western Australia was selected to host the prestigious World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Global Summit next year.

WTTC is the global authority on tourism and its members include over 200 CEOs, Chairpersons, and Presidents of companies such as Emirates, Etihad Airlines, Hilton Group, Visa, and Expedia.

The annual WTTC summit will take place in October 2024, and spotlight WA as an emerging global leader in travel, tourism and trade.

Previous attendees include former USA President Barack Obama, French President Emmanuel Macron, previous United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and world-famous environmental activist and adventurer Bear Grylls (OBE).

It's the first time the event has been held in Australia, with previous host countries including Spain, China, Japan, the United States, Argentina, and Thailand.

The Summit was secured for the State through a successful bid by the WA Government, in partnership with Business Events Perth, and Business Events Australia.  

The invitation-only event will see world leaders meet with WA decision-makers to discuss the economic, social and environmental issues currently affecting tourism, trade and travel worldwide, and to explore new investment opportunities in our State.

Business events form an important part of the WA Government's strategy to grow WA's tourism industry and further diversify the State's economy. 

Large scale meetings and conferences act as a significant economic driver with business delegates typically spending up to five times more than the average leisure visitor.

Comments attributed to Tourism Minister Rita Saffioti:

"Hosting the WTTC Global Summit in 2024 will position Western Australia as a leader among nations, and allow the WA Government to influence the global tourism and travel agenda, as well as elevate our State's tourism, trade and travel industries.

"It will also allow the world's leading decision makers to experience Perth and WA first-hand, while we demonstrate our State's growth ambition and investment opportunities to the global travel and tourism sector, and showcase the expertise of WA businesses and our wider tourism and trade industries.

"We're really proud to attract business events of this calibre to our State and look forward to welcoming WTTC members and attendees to Western Australia next year."

Comments attributed to Federal Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell:

"The Australian Government is very pleased to have supported the bid for Perth to host the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Summit in 2024.

"The timing next year couldn't be better as the industry continues to emerge from the impacts of the global pandemic and looks to future opportunities for sustainable growth.

"Australia's offerings for both business events and leisure travellers are exceptional and hosting this event will be a terrific opportunity to showcase our outstanding tourism credentials to the world."
