Following the successful inaugural event in Cusco, Peru last year, agents, suppliers, media and travellers will again gather learn about the impacts of community tourism on a destination and its residents.
Running from September 24 – 29, 2024, the second GX Summit will again incorporate the Change Makers agent event, which brings agents of change from around the world together.
It culminates in an all-day World Community Tourism celebration on World Tourism Day, September 27, 2024.
Change Makers is live now and runs until May 31, 2024.
The campaign incentivises agents to focus on changing people’s lives through travel by booking G Adventures trips.
Agents who successfully earn a place at Change Makers will experience how their bookings impact local communities in the places they send their travelers.
They will enjoy a six-day trip to India.
India was chosen to host GX for its vibrant culture and diverse tourism offerings.
“Last year we hosted our first GX Summit in Peru, and I was mind blown by the feedback we received,” said founder Bruce Poon Tip.
“India is an electrifying location and one that really needs tourism’s support. I’m excited to host our guests and to be able to encourage more people to travel to India the right way at the same time.”
The GX Summit will take travel agents on a six-day exploration of community tourism highlights across Delhi, Jaipur and Agra and more.
The World Community Tourism Day Summit on September 27 will bring media, agents, suppliers and travellers together to hear about how community tourism can improve people’s lives for the better.
Agents can visit: https://sherpa.gadventures.com/change-makers/ and log into Sherpa for more information on how to attend.
More details on GX and the World Community Tourism Day line-up will be revealed in the coming months.
