- Leading Through Uncertainty:
* Tourism has always been a Barometer of the World’s Stability — reflecting its Crises and its Recoveries. Today, it stands at a Crossroads.
* Political Realignments, Climate lmperatives, and the Acceleration of Artificial lntelligence are redrawing Global Systems faster than Policy or Business Models can adapt.
* In this New Era, tourism is called not only to endure Uncertainty but to lead through it — by embracing Transformation as Both Strategy and Responsibility.
* “Uncertainty tests not only Our Models but Our Values,” said Christian Delom, Secretary General of A World For Travel. “The Challenge Now is to transform lnstability into lnnovation — to make Tourism not a Spectator of Global Change, but One of its Most Constructive Forces.”

- Five Pillars of Transformation
The 2025 Forum was structured around Five Pillars of Transformation, defining a Roadmap for navigating Volatility while ensuring Sustainability, Trust, and Competitiveness:
1. Governance & Resilience in a Fragmented World – building Foresight and Adaptability into Global Travel Governance.
2. Decarbonizing Mobility & Infrastructure – accelerating Low-Carbon Systems across Air, Sea, Rail, and Urban Mobility.
3. Leadership, Skills & Social Cohesion – nurturing Empathetic, Future-Ready Leadership and Re-Skilling the Workforce.
4. Innovation & Technology for Sustainability – applying AI, Data, and Scientific Research Ethically to create Resilience.
5. New Value Models: Regenerative and Luxury Travel – uniting Purpose and Profitability in a Renewed Vision of Value.
These Pillars anchor every Debate, connecting Policy, lnvestment, lnnovation, and Human Development under One Collective Framework.
