We are bringing together
SMEs – Major Stakeholders – Public Sector
By bringing together private and public sector members on regional and global platforms, WTN advocates for its members on a chapter (regional) and a global level.
Larger companies in travel and tourism joining WTN are understanding the important role SMEs play in the sector.
Public sector members, such as ministries of tourism and tourism boards support SMEs and the essential role they play in their country, region, or city.
By working with stakeholders and government leaders, WTN seeks to create innovative approaches for inclusive and sustainable tourism sector growth and assist small and medium travel and tourism businesses during both good and challenging times.
