Tourism has long been a powerful engine of economic growth for cities—driving innovation, job creation, and urban renewal. But to remain viable, destination strategies must evolve toward a model of sustainably managed tourism.

This session will explore how cities can rethink tourism with a focus on community well-being, econominc development, carbon neutrality, and smart, data-driven planning that enhances local life rather than disrupts it.
