They include 20-year-old Indonesian/Dutch activist Melati Wijsen, who at just 12 years old founded Bye Bye Plastics – a global movement powered by youths around the world to end the use of plastic bags – and in 2018, alongside her sister, was named one of the ‘world’s most influential teens’ by Time Magazine.


Taking place in the Philippines from 20-22 April, the global tourism body’s 21st Global Summit will see industry leaders gather with more than 20 government representatives to continue aligning efforts to support the sector’s recovery.
