After the successful inaugural event in Cusco, Peru in 2023, G Adventures has revealed the destination for this year’s GX World Community Tourism Summit in September is India and will include visits to iconic cities and sites such as Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. Plus, advisors can nab a spot on the Change Makers agent trip.
Travel advisors, suppliers, media and the community from around the globe will gather in India for the second GX Summit and experience the impact of community tourism firsthand.
Running from 24-29 September 2024 and presented by G Adventures and its non-profit Planeterra, the GX Summit will incorporate a six-day Change Makers trip in India, bringing together global agents of change and culminating in an all-day World Community Tourism celebration on World Tourism Day (27 September 2024).

GX Summit in India
G Adventures and Planeterra Founder Bruce Poon Tip said India was an obvious choice for its vibrant culture, diverse offerings, hospitable welcome and community tourism potential as well as the experience the GX Summit delivers to its attendees.
“Last year we hosted our first GX Summit in Peru and I was mind blown by the feedback we received. People came back energised about the power of community tourism to make a real difference to people in the places we visit.”
“India is an electrifying location and one that really needs tourism’s support. It’s not fully bounced back since the pandemic, so I’m excited to host our guests and encourage more people to travel to India the right way at the same time.
“There’s no better feeling for me than seeing all our communities come together over one shared experience. We learn a lot but also have a lot of fun,” he said.
