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 will focus on.
To take full advantage of new opportunities you need to be prepared, so we will
be bringing business leaders, researchers and economists together to talk about
the changing consumer attitudes, which will help you prepare your own business
— big or small — to be poised for success as soon as the green shoots of economic
recovery appear.
The majority of consumers have had their fingers burnt by the credit crunch, so
it is likely they’ll become more discerning and more demanding about what they
spend their money on. Combine with this the new wave of consumers, Generation Y,
who are about to enter the spending arena and are both digitally adept and hugely
concerned about sustainability, and you can see why any business needs to rethink
its strategy.
Once again, this year’s Travel Convention’s business sessions will provide
an unmissable mix of industry leaders talking about the challenges
they are facing and how they’re tackling them, and external
experts who will shine a light on consumer behaviour
and much more besides, in 2010 and beyond.
Sessions will include:
Getting Ready for a Brand New World
Applied Thinking
An Insider's View
Tourism 2023
View from the Top
Questioning the Captains
The ABTA MBA
