TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION FORUM

Postponed

New date pending

Ljubljana

Slovenia

Topics
Group Discussion

Herewith some general questions to foster a focus and framework for discussion, but as ever go where the conversation leads you. Be insightful.

  • Is it time for travel to trade quality for quantity?  How?  Is overtourism resolved?

  • Will the current concern for sustainability, personal health & security persist?  Who will pay for it?
     

  •  Will the business modus/travel be transformed?
     

  • For many Covid has been digitally transformational; What role will technology have in enabling this digital shift for travel?

  • Can start-ups survive the forecast gradual return (2 years?) to normalcy?  How?

 

  • Is AI dead and buried?  If not, why not?

 

  • Have OTAs been knocked off their perch?

 

  • What new products/travel styles will emerge from the crisis?
