Planet
Earth – April 2025 / NewsmakerAlert: The tourism industry is at a turning
point. And this fall, DestiCon
2025 is bringing together the voices ready to face it.
Streaming
virtually on September 18–19, 2025, this year’s theme—“Honest
Conversations. Better Tourism.”—is more than a tagline. It’s a movement.
A collective call for tourism leaders, marketers, and changemakers to step
into conversations that matter—and stop settling for the ones that don’t.
Hosted
by tourism strategists and Destination Innovate Co-CEOs Jennifer
Barbee and Kristen
Cruz, DestiCon 2025 promises two half-days of real talk, actionable
strategy, and a renewed focus on what the industry could be—if we’re
brave enough to build it.
“We
created DestiCon because too many important conversations were happening
behind closed doors—or not at all,” says Barbee. “This event gives people
permission to say what they’ve been thinking, and find smarter, more human
ways forward.”
