The 1st UN Tourism Regional Conference on the Empowerment of Women in Tourism in Europe will be hosted by Visit Almaty and will take place from 22 - 23 October in Almaty, Kazakhstan. This event provides a platform for some of the leading female voices in tourism in the region, celebrating their successes and considering ways to dismantle the barriers that hamper women's economic and social empowerment.

The agenda will include dialogue with leaders from both the public and private sectors who are driving social innovation, discussing strategies for the global tourism sector to confront and combat gender inequalities.

The 2025 World Tourism Day is organized by the Edith Cowan University (ECU), in partnership with the Tourism Western Australia (TWA), Women in Tourism and Hospitality WA, Australian Hotels Association WA, WA Agri-tourism Association, Destination Perth, and Crown Tower Perth. This event presents a strategic opportunity for Western Australia to lead the global conversation on tourism. Under the UN Tourism theme “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation,” this half-day forum will convene influential voices from government, industry, and academia to explore a shared vision for a sustainable, inclusive tourism future in WA.
Western Australia stands at a pivotal crossroads. The imperative to attract international visitors and celebrate Australia’s rich Indigenous and cultural heritage is intensifying—yet so too are the environmental pressures, workforce vulnerabilities, and community wellbeing challenges that accompany this growth. Addressing these complexities requires more than conversation—it demands collective leadership and decisive, coordinated action.
This high-impact forum is not just an event—it is a platform for action and collaboration. It will foster cross-sectoral dialogue, strengthen strategic alignment, and catalyse collaborative solutions to shape the future of tourism across the region.

A programação contempla uma abordagem interdisciplinar e inovadora, por meio de debates, oficinas, vivências e palestras, valorizando não apenas a formação acadêmica, mas também o empreendedorismo, novas tendências do setor e práticas voltadas à formação acadêmica e ao fortalecimento do setor no estado.

A Semana também abre espaço para discussões sobre turismo de periferia, segurança no turismo de aventura, crimes relacionados ao setor, economia criativa e turismo de experiência, fortalecendo o vínculo entre a universidade e a realidade social.
