A World for Travel announced a unique collaboration with the TIS – Tourism Innovation Summit and the City of Seville to highlight the fantastic work done in Seville which culminated in the city becoming Europe’s 2023 Smart City. Thus, the AWFT was held in parallel with the TIS at the Fibes Convention Centre in an effort to minimize the impact of two different events and all the people travelling to both.

The AWFT format continued its successful Davos-style design with global dignitaries and industry stars to provide thought leadership that delivers the “how” not just the “what.” in terms of sustainability. We examined 5 discernible shift categories: social, environmental, climatic, economic and technical. In each case we aim to share what developments are in process and what will be the future. Within these shifts we have addressed marine and regenerative tourism, human capital issues and technological challenges.
