The Summit will bring together more than 300 tourism leaders, innovators and changemakers for a full day of fresh ideas, practical insights and future-focused kōrero. George Cao, Co-founder and CEO of Dragon Trail International, has been confirmed as the first keynote speaker, with Jenny-May Clarkson returning as MC.
