WTTC Announces Major Speakers for its 23rd Global Summit in Rwanda
Kigali, Rwanda: The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) gears up for its stellar 23rd Global Summit in Kigali this week (1-3 Nov), with Ivorian footballing legend Didier Drogba set to take to the stage.
Regarded as one of the greatest African football players in history, and all-time top scorer and former captain of the Ivory Coast national team, Drogba will share his experience of growing up in the West African country, and his continued fight for social progress. After retiring from professional football, this titan of industry continues to inspire and change lives.
WTTC is delighted to announce three Heads of State will also take to the stage at the 23rd Global Summit, and a Vice-President.
Other keynote speakers include Justin Urquhart-Stewart, global economist and renowned business commentator; David P. Pekoske, Administrator of the United States Transport Security Administration; Juliet Slot, Chief Commercial Officer at Arsenal Football Club.
Other notable speakers include Francis Gatare, CEO of the Rwanda Development Board, and Yvonne Makolo, CEO of Rwandair and Chair of the Board of Governors of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the first woman to take on this role.
The Summit's theme underscores the sector's significance beyond revenue: its impact on the planet and global communities. Business leaders from across the globe will collaborate on future-proofing the sector, ensuring resilience, inclusivity, and sustainability.
