The success of the WFTGA Convention 2026 would not be possible without the generous support, dedication, and vision of so many individuals, organisations, and institutions.
To each and every sponsor, foundation, partner, and contributor – thank you for believing in the power of professional tourist guiding and for helping us bring the world together through knowledge, culture, and sustainable tourism.
Your commitment not only makes this convention a reality – it helps shape the future of our profession.
