The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) announced the 25th edition of its Global Summit will take place at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, Italy, on September 28-30, 2025.

WTTC will join forces with Italy’s Ministry of Tourism, the Italian National Tourist Board (ENIT), and the Municipality of Rome and the Lazio Region to unite business leaders, government representatives, and industry pioneers to discuss the pressing challenges and opportunities for the global travel and tourism sector.

“I’m delighted to be bringing our Global Summit back to Europe, to shine a spotlight on the iconic city of Rome,” WTTC President and CEO Julia Simpson said. “One of the world’s most popular city destinations, Rome will provide the perfect setting for our Members, government representatives and distinguished guests, who will travel from all corners of the globe.”

“I would like to thank Minister Santanchè and ENIT for hosting our Global Summit, which I am sure will be a spectacular event,” Simpson continued.

The 2025 event will focus on the latest developments in digital transformation, regenerative tourism, and investment strategies, alongside discussions on the growing importance of technology in driving the sector forward.

This year’s WTTC Global Summit will provide a stage to showcase the latest developments and commitments driving the sector forward, ensuring travel and tourism remain a key pillar for economies worldwide.

“We would like to thank WTTC for choosing the Italian capital as the venue for the Summit, and the Municipality of Rome and the Lazio Region, which immediately welcomed the initiative with enthusiasm; we are confident that this event will contribute to raising the profile of Rome and Italy on the international tourism scene,” Italian Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè said.
