The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) welcomed global mobility company Uber to its Executive Committee, marking a return to the global tourism body.
Uber served as a Global Member between 2018 and 2021, but left the organization through 2026. Now, it’s part of its Executive Committee, with its CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, now part of the executive committee body, responsible for shaping WTTC’s global agenda.
“We are delighted to welcome Uber to WTTC’s Executive Committee,” said Gloria Guevara, WTTC President & CEO. “As a global leader in mobility and technology, Uber plays a vital role in the travel ecosystem. Their return to WTTC further strengthens our global membership and brings valuable perspective and leadership to our work as we shape a more connected and sustainable future for Travel & Tourism.”
Uber operates across 15,000 cities in over 70 countries, connecting travelers with drivers, couriers and local businesses, often providing in-destination transportation from airports to accommodations.
The company recently announced a partnership with Expedia Group that allows Uber users to access over 700,000 hotels worldwide, which they can book within the Uber app.
“Travel is in Uber’s DNA. For millions of people around the world, Uber is one of the first apps they open when they arrive in a new city,” said CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi. “We’re proud to join the World Travel & Tourism Council and collaborate with industry leaders to help shape the future of travel. Together, we can help make travel more seamless and connected, so people can spend more time enjoying the experiences that matter.”
