World Summit “Destinations for All” ENAT President's Message, 22nd September 2025
3rd World Summit “Destinations for All”, Turin, Italy. 5 to 7 October 2025
Dear Friends,
As I anticipated, early this year, in less than one month, the 3rd edition of the World Summit “Destinations for All” will open in Turin, Piedmont Region hosted by our member CPD Turismabile and IsITT with the participation, in the Executive Committee of Kéroul and CAWaB, the historical organisations with which we launched the first Summit in Montreal in 2014, and the second in Brussels in 2018.
ENAT has been very active in the organisation and promotion of this global conference, as we feel that the Summit will have such a resonance at international level, with a programme that points the way forward, maximising the tourism opportunities for people with specific access requirements.
Following a careful peer-review of abstracts, over 100 speakers will present and discuss topics, showing how actors and stakeholders in tourism destinations worldwide are addressing the key issues of sustainability, tourist flows, cultural heritage and new technologies, as they seek to develop coherent, innovative, high quality tourism offers for all visitors.
The final draft of the Programme is now online, covering all the most relevant activities, ranging from business development, environment, AI and its effects on the tourism offers to education and training, management tools and marketing of the destinations. The aim of these efforts is to make life easier for tourists with specific access requirements, seniors and all those people who will need attention and quality to match with their concept of a vacation, free from distress and marginalisation.
The Summit will offer the possibility for delegates to meet the most prominent experts in the field of Tourism for All, including representatives of UN Tourism, national, regional and city destination management organisations, as well as public bodies from Italy and 6 world continents.
Many representatives of associations and SMEs will bring their experiences and add their voices to this landmark international event. We expect up to 400 attendees with more than 130 speakers, poster presentations and Exhibitors in an intensive but undoubtedly rewarding programme.
Join us
We look forward to meeting colleagues face-to-face again, after a long hiatus, to share best practices, establish new contacts and work together towards a new global agenda for accessible tourism.
If you haven’t registered yet for the Summit, I would like to remind that ENAT members can register at the reduced “Early Bird” rate up to 24th September.
All relevant information can be found on the World Summit - Destinations for All Website.
I really hope to be able to meet many of you in Turin on the 5th of October!
