On 21 December, 2021, the 2021 IMTA Annual Conference was held via videoconferencing for the first time. The main venue was at IMTA headquarters, and members all over the world attended the Conference via videoconferencing. Attendees shared insights and discussed on the theme “How Can International Organizations Play a Leading Role in Global Tourism Recovery and Reshaping Governance,” explored the methods and patterns of normalizing pandemic prevention and control and reshaping tourism in the post-COVID world, and promised to jointly face challenges and revitalize world tourism via optimism, solidarity, teamwork, and creativity.

IMTA Annual Conference, as a key platform to serve our members and the development of the tourism industry, has been held four years in a row. This year’s Conference aims at figuring out how to work with IMTA members to face new challenges, and play the role of a participant, a practitioner, and a contributor in revitalizing world tourism, in a world with normalized pandemic prevention and control.
