Part 1: Panel Discussion: Tourism as a Positive Catalyst

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 @ 10am - 11am

We’re kickstarting the PATA Youth Symposium with a panel discussion that pits dreams vs. reality, and the battle for the future of tourism. Many youths join the travel industry because of a deep-seated love for travel, but there is also a firm belief within the PATA Youth community that this industry has significant potential to become a positive catalyst for sustainable and responsible development.

Part 2: Mentorship Session (Invitation Only)

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 @ 11:15am - 12:15am

This session is the perfect opportunity for the PATA Youth to learn from today's industry leaders but, just as equally importantly, the chance for industry leaders to listen to the future of the industry – the youth themselves. The mentorship session is designed to facilitate conversations and meaningful connections, making future collaborations within the community possible.

Part 3: Scaling up your Impact, An SDG Workshop

Wednesday, April 28, 2021 @ 10am - 12am

As an interconnected and interdependent global community, we only have 9 years left to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented mobilization of the energy and skills of the youth, so this workshop is focused on scaling up your impact, challenging you to design projects specifically for your local communities and generating actionable outcomes.

Part 4: Student Chapter Roundtable Discussion

Thursday, April 29, 2021 @ 1pm - 3pm

The roundtable discussion serves the PATA Student Chapter community by bringing student chapters from around the world together to share their passion projects and debate best practices. Here, peer-learning and gaining inspiration is at its highest.
