Global Hospitality & Leisure Summit 2024 (GHLS)

With a particular focus on large-scale destination projects and mega-investments, the summit seeked to investigate the key factors contributing to their success, while assessing the sociocultural and environmental factors. It also discussed strategies to address destination renewal and diversification challenges. The summit equipped participants with a comprehensive toolkit for developing tourism clusters in destinations.

Best practices for Al and digital transformation projects, including strategic benchmarking, sustainability considerations, and ethical and legal aspects associated with Al implementation, was also a key focus.

Investigating the synergy between integrated resorts, destination regeneration, and sustainability shed light on potential challenges and opportunities. By examining the balance between economic growth and environmental responsibility, the conference contributed to informed decision-making in tourism and hospitality.
