His Excellency Ahmed Al-Khateeb, Minister of Tourism of Saudi Arabia and Chairman of TOURISE, said, "TOURISE is where the world's most diverse and powerful voices unite - public and private sector leaders and innovators from across every industry touched by tourism's economic force. This summit is a launchpad for groundbreaking ideas and bold solutions that will drive our industry forward. With an extraordinary lineup of speakers, we're set to spark conversations that will inspire action and shape a more inclusive, resilient, and future-ready tourism ecosystem."
