Panama to Host Adventure Travel World Summit in 2024

The Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) announced that Panama would be the next host destination for the annual Adventure Travel World Summit (ATWS), running October 7-10, 2024.

Next year’s edition of the ATWS being in Panama makes the first time the summit will be held in Central America, with the country’s tourism industry focused on sustainable adventure travel, with key initiatives aimed at partnering with local communities.

Over the years, the ATTA and Panama have built a close relationship based on the combined focus on sustainable development of the adventure travel industry.

“Since 2017, ATTA has been working with partners in Panama to increase community-based travel in the country,” ATTA Vice President Gabi Stowell said. “Along the way, I learned so much about this amazing destination and discovered that Panama is truly a gem, filled with diverse culture and biodiversity, and endless adventure.”

The annual four-day ATWS brings together around 800 people in the adventure travel business for a series of collaborative learning workshops, one-on-one networking opportunities, inspirational speakers, and a Day of Adventure.  

“Since we have been honored to be chosen as the host country for the next ATWS, we are delighted to extend a special invitation, especially to our esteemed friends from Asia,” Panama Tourism Ministry’s Denise Guillen Zuniga said. “Panama has so much to explore, with hidden treasures waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. We have been curating this event to welcome intrepid travelers from over 60 countries across the globe, and we eagerly anticipate your arrival in 2024.”

The ATTA revealed that the adventures, agendas, keynote speakers and official media delegates will be announced at a later date.
