WTTC postpones its 2020 Summit in Mexico to Autumn

The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and the Government of Quintana Roo in Mexico have announced that the 20^th Global Summit will be postponed to Autumn this year. The council’s annual Global Submit is the most influential Travel and Tourism event in the calendar, where the leaders of the highest level of the whole industry meet with the key representatives of the government to take action on the biggest and most important issues across the international agenda. 

The 2020 Global Summit will take place in Cancun in early Autumn, giving the travel and tourism sector time to recover from the current Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak and its dangerous impact. 

President and CEO, WTTC, Gloria Guevara, said: “We stand in solidarity with governments, countries and organizations which are being affected by coronavirus, and look forward to hosting our Global Summit in Autumn. This will provide a global platform to discuss the sector’s recovery and the future plans as well.”

Carlos Joaquin, Governor of Quintana Roo, said: “Cancun and the whole State of Quintana Roo are continuing to plan a full schedule of events, meetings and conventions against the global backdrop of covid-19 (coronavirus). We have no such infected cases of covid-19 but we stand ready to support those around the whole world. We look forward to hosting the 20^th WTTC Global Submit in Autumn, and ensuring it is the most successful Global Submit ever.”
