My personal highlights from our annual event at @ITB_Berlin .
The 26th edition of the @patwaworldwide World Tourism Leaders Summit 2026, on ‘The Future of Tourism’, was truly exceptional. Hearing insightful perspectives from Tourism Ministers made the summit inspiring.
In my capacity as Director of Operations & Features Editor at PATWA, it was immensely fulfilling to see months of hard work come to fruition. Each edition brings a sense of déjà vu, yet every year also reinforces how much I genuinely enjoy being part of this industry.
