The first UNWTO Global Youth Tourism Summit took place in Sorrento and brought together 130 young participants from sixty countries.
The structure: the summit created a space where young delegates could exchange views with institutions on tourism, sustainability and the future of travel.
Why it matters: this initiative turned youth involvement into an international project rather than a symbolic side event.
The broader takeaway: future-oriented tourism policy benefits when younger voices are treated as stakeholders, not just audiences.
