The International Institute for Peace Through Tourism (IIPT) is partnering with Jacobs Media Group at ITCMS to present the IIPT “
Champions in Challenge” Award to three global leaders during the ITCMS conference in London on November 8, 2019.
“The IIPT Awards honour leaders who have stood forward in exceptional times of challenge and have made a real difference through their words and actions,” says Ajay Prakash, President of IIPT India. “Crises are an unavoidable fact of life; through the Champions in Challenge awards we seek to recognise exceptional leaders who embody the power of tourism to bring peace and stability.”
The IIPT Champions in Challenge Awards will be presented to three global leaders during ITCMS on Thursday 8 November by Dr. Taleb Rifai, former Secretary General UNWTO & Chairman IIPT Advisory Board and Ajay Prakash, President IIPT India.
ITCMS founder and Jacobs Media Group’s Group Business Development Director Daniela Wagner, said: “We have put together a fantastic line-up of speakers for this year’s Summit which has quickly established itself as a vital forum for the most senior leaders in our industry to discuss the big issues and challenges they face in an uncertain world.
“Putting aside competitive instincts and sharing best practice and ideas have never been more important to ensure the travel industry continues to offer safe and enjoyable experiences for all and, when things inevitably do go wrong, to have in place collaborative and efficient processes to mitigate the impact.”
“We’re also delighted to strengthen and grow our partnership with the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism and build upon the regional IIPT awards for Excellence at the Resilience Through Tourism Summit in Amman earlier this year.”
