GX 2026:
Morocco here we come
The secret’s out. Get ready for souks, the Sahara, and epic moments on repeat.
A travel event
unlike anything the world has ever seen
GX is a celebration of the transformative power of community tourism —
not only to enrich our lives but to empower the people and places we
visit along the way. It’s about uniting our global communities for a
week-long celebration of travel, all set in some of the most
awe-inspiring destinations in the world.
With a top-tier team at your side, you’ll dive into the heart and soul
of the region — but that’s only the beginning. You’ll also meet the
real-life superheroes driving the impactful initiatives supported by
Planeterra, immerse yourself in once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, gain
exclusive access to the World Community Tourism Summit, and discover a
profound truth: that travel isn’t just about exploring the world, it’s
about changing it.
