SHARJAH: Under the patronage of Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, the Sharjah Commerce & Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA) has announced plans to hold the Sharjah International Travel and Tourism Forum (SITTF 2021) on Nov.24 at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre.

With the overarching theme ‘Smart Tourism and Global Challenges’, the Forum will serve as a global plaform that brings together entrepreneurs and experts in travel and tourism from Sharjah and around the world to share inspiring insights, ideas, and future scenarios for the sector in the emirate and the region.

The Forum aims to deliver pragmatic solutions to the global challenges facing the sector, in an effort to promote tourism and support its sustainable growth.

Sharjah International Travel and Tourism Forum was launched as a rebranding of the Authority’s flagship annual Sharjah Hospitality Forum, which explores global developments in the industry that call for new and sustainable methods to ensure the tourism sector remains resilient.

“The tourism sector plays a critical role in economies around the world and is a key contributor to comprehensive and sustainable growth,” said Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of Sharjah Commerce & Tourism Development Authority.”
