The Global Travel and Tourism Resilience Council is a platform for thought leadership addressing the current challenges facing the global travel industry. 

The Council looks at areas such as preparedness, crisis management, ESG, workforce engagement and retention, financial services and funding, problem solving, data analytics adoption and sustainability. 

We take a global view which enables us to identify leaders, enterprises and associations who provide solutions or looking to address challenges.  By dealing with both the private and public sectors, we are able to support destinations and businesses in their strategic objectives, minimize or improve impact of crisis while maximizing learnings and embed a resilient culture.

By working with governments across the world, this platform enables leaders, partners and the media to unite, speak, share and act collaboratively.

A message from our Co-Chairs

“The immediate future is not clear as to how quickly we bounce back and what will happen in the next two to three years. The travel industry is resilient. New products will emerge. There are huge opportunities in aviation, hotel services and tour products that will be on offer. Tourism will expand its ability to offer a seamless experience and one that is far more responsive to hygienic practices.  The future is bright, as people will relate better to each other and provide a more wholesome respect for cultures and diversity.”

Minister Edmund Bartlett, MP Government of Jamaica & Co-Chair of the Resilience Council

“No one can do it alone…Collectively, we can harness the power of tourism for resilience.”

Dr. Taleb Rifai, Former Secretary General, UNWTO
