The event, to be held in Cancun, Mexico, has been pushed back to autumn “to give the travel and tourism sector time to recover from the current Covid-19 outbreak, and its impact”.
Gloria Guevara, WTTC president and chief executive, said: “We stand in solidarity with governments, countries and organisations which are being affected by Covid-19 and look forward to hosting our global summit in the Autumn.
“This will provide a global platform to discuss the sector’s recovery and future plans.”
Carlos Joaquin, governor of Mexico’s Quintana Roo region, added: “Cancun and the State of Quintana Roo are continuing to plan a full schedule of events, meetings and conventions against the global backdrop of Covid-19.
“We have no Covid-19 cases but stand ready to support those around the world.”
