Global Sustainable Tourism Summit 2026
The Global Sustainable Tourism Summit is a flagship event on the international sustainable tourism calendar – bringing together sustainability changemakers, innovators and industry leaders for four days of ideas, collaboration and impact.
This year’s Summit explores how the Australian visitor economy can champion the four pillars of sustainability: driving positive environmental outcomes, protecting and celebrating culture, creating meaningful socio-economic benefits, and building resilient, future-focused businesses. Designed as a dynamic platform to connect, share knowledge and address the sector’s most pressing sustainability challenges, the four-day program features a 1.5-day conference, two social functions and an optional destination immersion experience.
Supported by Summit Partner Tourism Australia and proudly hosted by the City of Gold Coast, the Global Sustainable Tourism Summit will be held from Tuesday 2 – Friday 5 June 2026, aligning with World Environment Day on 5 June. The Summit will take place at Mercure Gold Coast Resort—a Sustainable Tourism Certified venue recognised for its strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
