The tourism landscape is being reshaped by a new era of global disruption — from geopolitical shifts and climate pressures to changing economic realities.

These transformations demand more than adaptation; they require coordinated, collective action.

Under the theme “New Tourism Realities: From Global Disruption to Collective Action,” AWFT 2026 will convene global leaders, policymakers and industry decision-makers to turn today’s challenges into shared strategies, actionable solutions and a stronger, more resilient future for travel.
