The Summit will place Malta at the centre of global discussions on the future of the sector, while providing an opportunity to showcase the Maltese Islands' tourism success story and strengthen public-pri- vate collaboration. It will also provide an impor- tant platform to highlight Mal- ta's commitment to sustainable growth, innovation and the continued development of a high-quality tourism sector.
