Welcome Note

It will also discuss strategies to address destination renewal and diversification challenges. The summit will equip participants with a comprehensive toolkit for developing tourism clusters in destinations.
Sharing best practices for AI and digital transformation projects, including strategic benchmarking, sustainability considerations, and ethical and legal aspects associated with AI implementation, will also be a key focus.
