About Regional Tourism Summit

Regional Tourism Summit is a B2B platform and summit series created to support regional tourism development, destination visibility, cross-border cooperation and tourism investment.

The platform brings together tourism agencies, hotels, DMCs, transport operators, event venues, airports, public institutions, tourism boards, municipalities, chambers, investors, technology companies and consultants. The first edition is anchored in Turkey and reaches outward across the Mediterranean, Africa, the Balkans and the Middle East.

Our approach

Authority platform first. Online briefing second. Istanbul roundtable third. Full physical summit later. We are building credibility before we sell tickets.
