It is my great pleasure and honor of Board of Investment to partner with Islamic Chamber of Commerce & Development 2nd Sustainable Tourism Forum, a landmark global platform dedicated to shaping the future of tourism through sustainability, innovation, and strategic investment.
Tourism today stands at a defining moment. As one of the world’s most powerful engines for economic growth, job creation, and cultural exchange, it also carries a profound responsibility to grow in a way that is inclusive, resilient, and environmentally responsible. This Forum reflects our shared commitment to transforming tourism into a force that delivers long-term value for communities, investors, and future generations alike.
The Sustainable Tourism Forum serves as a mega platform that brings together global leaders, policymakers, investors, developers, innovators, and industry experts to explore high-impact opportunities, foster cross-border partnerships, and unlock sustainable investment flows. It is designed not only to exchange ideas, but to convert dialogue into action linking vision with viable projects and meaningful collaboration.
The forum’s agenda is very aligned with the requirements of the stakeholders of all the countries whereby every session is providing tremendous opportunities for exploring the areas of collaborations and partnerships. As the Board of Investment, we firmly believe that sustainable tourism is a cornerstone of economic diversification and global cooperation. Through this Forum, we aim to promote investment-ready destinations, encourage public–private partnerships, and showcase policies and frameworks that enable responsible growth while protecting natural and cultural heritage.
I extend my sincere appreciation to Islamic Chamber of Commerce & Development, International partners, speakers, sponsors, and participants for their invaluable contribution to this important initiative. Your engagement reinforces our collective belief that sustainability and profitability can and must advance together, as the theme of the forum is transforming tourism for community development.
I wish you a productive and inspiring Forum and look forward to the partnerships and investments that will emerge from this global gathering.
