Panel - Tourism 4.0 & Destinations: Digital Innovation for a Sustainable and Authentic Future
This panel explores how technological innovation is transforming tourism and the appeal of destinations, with a focus on digitalization, sustainability, and cultural enhancement. International experts and institutional representatives will discuss concrete case studies and perspectives from Italy, Turkey, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates.
The session will compare the role of the public sector—responsible for guiding strategy, infrastructure, and heritage protection—with that of the private sector, which acts as a driver of creativity, investment, and scalable business models.
The goal is to outline collaborative approaches that make tourism authentic, competitive, and inclusive, creating value for local communities, businesses, and travelers.
