K.I.T. Group and World Tourism Forum Institute will partner to produce the Global Tourism Forum in 2022.
The World Tourism Forum Institute (WTFI) and professional conference
organiser, K.I.T. Group, have entered into a partnership to plan and
produce the Global Tourism Forum (GTF), organised in conjunction with
the G20 Summit, as well as up to six regional meetings leading up to GTF
2022.
These pre-event meetings will be hosted in various destinations in
Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas, as part of
WTFI's ongoing mission to promote the development of each host country's
tourism offerings.
"We believe that our new partnership with K.I.T. Group will help
ignite the next chapter of WTFI’s strategic growth plan, and help
transform into a truly global platform. Our vision is to launch a
permanent ‘regional’ footprint on all continents, whilst our flagship
event GTF will remain an exclusive offering for certain discerning
destinations wishing to be the voice of the industry in the coming
decade,” said Bulut Bagci, President of WTFI.
As one of the largest business events within the global travel
industry, GTF attracts thousands of participants yearly, including
leaders shaping the world tourism, travel agencies and tour operators,
local and foreign businessmen, investment groups and bankers, investment
consultancy companies, politicians, senior executives, public
authorities, strategists and technologists in travel.
Sorting out the hardware aspect of the various GTF components is PCO
(professional conference organiser) K.I.T. Group, coming into the
partnership with experience in the fields of physical, hybrid and purely
digital events, as well as its industry network and expertise in
sustainable event formats.
For GTF, K.I.T. Group will assist in SWOT analyses, event design,
marketing, registration, sponsorship, financial management and hotel
management, also managing the various regional meetings' participants.
"At WTFI we are always trying to help transform local economies and
destinations through the power of our events. Along with our new PCO
partner, we hope to continue to make a positive impact on the world of
travel and tourism," added Bagci.
