TOURISE 2027 is also backed by a growing roster of partners and sponsors, including stc, Dar Al Arkan, The Avenues, Qiddiya City, Aseer Development Authority, Saudia, Jeddah Central, Taiba, Tourism Development Fund, Red Sea Global, Almosafer and Snapchat, reflecting the platform’s role in connecting public and private sector across the tourism value chain.
His Excellency Ahmed Al Khateeb, Minister of Tourism of Saudi Arabia and Chairman of TOURISE, said:
“The future of tourism will be shaped not by any single destination, company or institution, but by the strength of the alliances we build between the public and private sector. Saudi Arabia has seen firsthand what becomes possible when ambition, investment and partnership move together. Through TOURISE, we are taking that experience to the global stage, connecting leaders across sectors and markets to turn shared ambition into action. In March, we invite the world to Riyadh to build the alliances that will shape the next 50 years of tourism.”
Gloria Guevara, President and CEO of the World Travel and Tourism Council, and panelist at today’s announcement, added:
“The next chapter of tourism will be defined by collaboration at a scale we have never seen before. ‘Alliances That Move the World’ captures the opportunity before us: to connect industries, capital and ideas in ways that create meaningful progress for destinations, businesses and communities. TOURISE creates the space for leaders to move beyond discussion and work together on practical solutions for the future of travel.”
TOURISE is backed by a Board of Trustees chaired by His Excellency, with global experts from online travel agencies, tour operators, hospitality, global tourism bodies, entertainment and media.
Stakeholders interested in participating in the TOURISE 2027 Summit are encouraged to submit a request for an invitation and join the growing global community helping to shape the future of tourism.

European Firms Struggle to Keep Pace with Growing DSAR Demands, New Reveal Study Finds6.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release

The report, based on a survey of 213 legal and privacy professionals at large European enterprises, is the first of its kind to benchmark how organisations across the region are managing DSAR compliance at scale. The findings expose structural inconsistencies between how organisations perceive their DSAR processes and how those processes perform. Ninety percent of respondents said they are confident their process would withstand scrutiny from an Informa

The traditional formats brands default to were never built for players. Interstitial pop-ups disrupt gameplay, banner ads go unnoticed, and in-game activations remain cumbersome and expensive to execute. The idea is already proven in games, where players have purchased, collected, and valued digital items for years. The relationship between players and games is built on t
