The Most Significant Convention in Years

Business and industry analysts, economists and media commentators alike are marking October as the pivotal point in the development of the credit crunch. Add to this the backdrop of environmental pressures, political issues, and rising costs and one can see that this autumn marks a very important period for the travel industry – making this year’s Travel Convention the most significant travel conference in years.

The mission of this year’s Travel Convention is simple; to equip the travel industry with all the latest thinking, strategies and tactics in order to steer a successful path through the economic, climatic and political minefield facing us all.

Gathered together in Gran Canaria will be some of the leading thinkers across the fields of business, economics, staff motivation, generational theory, behavioural marketing and innovation who will inform, inspire and give insight on the current period, the near future and longer term.                                                                    Continues >>

“In times good or bad, it’s good to talk”

Mindful that delegates want to learn tangible strategies to apply to their own business; from top line speakers on the main stage, to Master Classes that give ‘coal face’ scenarios and expert strategies and tactics to deploy, every minute of this year’s Travel Convention business programme will be truly priceless.

It’s a powerful statement to make – the most significant travel conference in years – but with the senior level of delegates that the new style Travel Convention attracts; the challenges facing the industry and the leading thinkers and players brought together under one roof to discuss strategies, this really is an event that your business cannot afford to miss.
