A major new global tourism event is making its debut in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this week. The TOURISE Summit, taking place from yesterday (11th) to the 13th of November, brings together ministers, industry leaders, investors and innovators to explore the future of global travel. With nearly 8,000 delegates and 140 speakers from around the world and hosted under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, TOURISE is designed to turn bold ideas into action.
South Africa’s Minister of Tourism, Patricia de Lille, is among the leaders participating in this landmark event. She joins a panel discussion titled “Bridging the Skies: Unlocking Global Connectivity,” focusing on how to improve air travel access in developing regions like Africa, where limited routes continue to hinder growth. As the tourism industry recovers from the pandemic and adapts to new technologies and sustainability goals, TOURISE positions itself as a permanent platform for global collaboration. Joining us on the line is Paul Charles, CEO The PC Agency
