WTTC Summit 2010

After a year of seemingly perennial crisis the leaders of the global tourism industry have been taking stock at the annual Global Travel & Tourism Summit in Beijing.

As the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) hosted event enters its second day, leaders from Asia, Europe and North America have been offering a cautiously optimistic analysis of recent events, while suggesting 2010 may mark a turning point for the industry.

Opening proceedings WTTC president Jean-Claude Baumgarten stated: “A lot has been said about the challenges we face, but our goal here is to discuss how the sector can play the role it needs and deserves in bringing about the recovery.”
