GSTC2024 Singapore
Global Sustainable Tourism Conference

The best way to end a busy and restarting year like 2022, and not only in the world of tourism, was to attend the Global Sustainable Tourism Conference in Seville. More than 60 nationalities, among the most representative companies in the world of tourism meet to take a look at the state of sustainability in our sector and the main challenges to be accomplished. A very important appointment of confrontation, exchange and learning.

I was also lucky enough to meet wonderful, like-minded people and establish a wide network with international professionals from more than 60 countries which would be great for building new collaborations towards more Sustainability in Travel and Tourism.

Special thanks go to the GSTC team for hosting this event and for their tangible efforts in organization. You’ve proficiently managed to make this experience a remarkable and memorable one!

The meetings and discussions I had with inspiring professionals enriched my vision of the tourism of tomorrow, focused on sustainability.

The content and the quality of the presenters were excellent in GSTC2023 Antalya. I left the Summit with rafts of information I am immediately applying to shape WWF’s conservation travel strategies.

Jim Sano, Vice President for Travel, Tourism and Conservation

Thrilled to have attended #GSTC2024Sweden and witnessed the remarkable efforts of GSTC, Visit Sweden and Tillvaxtverket in orchestrating an extraordinary conference in the heart of Stockholm. With over 500 passionate professionals from 57 diverse countries converging at the stunning Royal Djurgarden, it was truly inspiring.

From insightful panel discussions on sustainability to mandatory reminders on safety exits, it was definitely a memorable and engaging experience. It was also wonderful to finally meet all of our GSTC colleagues in person!

Sustainability is not only a growing trend. It is becoming THE standard.

I wanted to thank GSTC for such an incredible and great conference in Stockholm. I really enjoyed the few days, which were insightful and inspiring. I always love the energy during those conferences.

This was my 3rd GSTC conferences and I have to admit, it’s getting more and more popular among sustainable tourism heroes. Great panelists, great location and superb organization

Simon Louvard, Founder & Manager, Lodg'ing

I was delighted to attend the GSTC conference in #Seville, Spain. The Conference was well-organized in all aspects, from the conducted panel discussions and workshops to the last day of the city tour, which I immensely enjoyed.

Over four days, I enjoyed attending sessions, meetings, and workshops by experts, researchers, academics, trainers, consultants, and entrepreneurs in the tourism industry and their experiences in sustainability, and their efforts to apply the principle of sustainability in their work, as well as the tourist destinations in which they work. Such international conferences are an added value to meeting wonderful people (more than 350 participants from 61 countries).

I cannot thank enough the GSTC team for their tremendous efforts in making this unforgettable experience by organizing such a fantastic event and for their choice of the beautiful city of Seville. I look forward to meeting you at the next GSTC Conference in Antalya.
