ITT conference to go ahead in Qatar

In a statement, the ITT said: “The ITT Conference will continue in Doha in June 2023. ITT has long been committed to promoting travel as a force for good and looks forward to continuing that work in Doha.

“As a board, we feel that we can achieve more for the memory of Marc Bennett by highlighting what Qatar needs to do for its future as a travel destination than by boycotting popular destinations.”


The conference will take place at the Waldorf Astoria Lusail in Doha from 5-7 June 2023.
