Not only will the business sessions be relevant to delegates from every sector, much of the innovative talk will be followed up with the kind of practical advice you’ll need to help you achieve innovation for yourself.
We’ve reached a pivotal point in the development of the travel industry. Over the next few years consumers are going to change the way they buy, communicate and travel, so tourism needs will change too. Complicating the mix are the shifting economic cycles and the continual evolution of new market segments within the travel sector, new regulations and restrictions and green issues which are becoming ever more important.
So now, more than ever, it’s a question of survival – which is why the Convention will be inspiring, informative, thought provoking and above all, innovative.
Following last year’s 100% approval rate, Jeremy Vine couldn’t bear to stay away and will be moderating again this year.
“Last year was a lot of fun and there were some great moments. For me the whole event was fascinating—and friendly too. I kept meeting Radio 2 listeners, so I knew I was among real people!
The Travel Convention was more than an insight into the travel business, it was the business: all of it, wrapped up in one Convention on one island in one week. Here's to the next one!”
