The “Sergestur 150+” list, now in its seventh edition, recognizes Moreno Gil’s career and his significant impact on the global tourism industry.
The tourism ecosystem is once again spotlighting excellence and leadership.

Among this year’s honorees is Sergio Moreno Gil, Lead Researcher at Emotur, who continues to be a prominent figure in the industry.
This recognition, awarded by SERGESTUR, does more than reward an individual career; it solidifies Sergio Moreno Gil as an undisputed authority in tourism research and strategy. His inclusion in this elite group—presented this year alongside the Top Tourism Leaders—underscores the fundamental role that knowledge transfer and scientific innovation play in the modern development of the industry.
