Young Talent Concept

The World Tourism Forum Lucerne enjoyed remarkable success when it launched the Young Talents Programme as part of the first event in April 2009. The programme offered five carefully selected young tourism professionals (most promising young talents) the opportunity to participate in the Forum. They were purposefully integrated into the programme of the Forum and were given attractive opportunities to launch their professional career. Due to very positive experience at the time, the young talents programme will again be an important element at the WTFL 2011.
