Business Sessions
Since the last Convention, the global economic difficulties have affected everyone.
Research is highlighting new consumer attitudes as a result, and once we’re in Recovery
things will never be the same again. Yes, there will be continued challenges, but on the
positive side, there will also be new opportunities. These opportunities are what this year’s
Travel Convention focussed on.
There was an incredible line-up of top industry speakers, including Carnival boss Micky Arison and TUI CEO Peter Long. PricewaterhouseCoopers provided detailed research information about the current and future state of the industry, Richard Reeves and John Knell from The Intelligence Agency provided delegates with an entertaining and informative 30 Minute MBA and former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Norman Lamont, gave his cautiously optimistic take on the future of the economy.
