#AWFT23.

After Evora, Portugal, and Nîmes, France, Seville offered its invaluable heritage to welcome A World For Travel speakers and delegates. As a crossroads of civilizations (Roman, Muslim, Christian), Seville is a compendium of world history. All our social events, the welcome party, official dinner, pre and post event tours allowed to experience this rich culture in all of Seville’s glory.

This year, 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 adressed marine and regenerative tourism, human capital issues and technological challenges.

A World for Travel joins forces with Tourism Innovation Summit (TIS) to boost sustainable tourism.

This year, A World for Travel is announcing 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 will be held in parallel with the TIS at the Fibes Convention Centre which is an effort to minimize the impact of two different events and all the people travelling to both.
