Attendees will get up-to-date information from industry leaders on important travel segments – including luxury, over-50s, youth and cruise – and hear about new technology developments and trends.
Industry experts will discuss how the pandemic has changed consumer behaviour, including shifts in holiday habits.
At the event ABTA will be revealing the results of new research, giving delegates a first look at some of the travel trends expected for 2022.
Speakers already announced include leaders from businesses such as GWI, Kuoni, Cosmos Tours, Carrier, Black Tomato, G Adventures and Byway Travel, Barrhead with more to be confirmed.
Both in-person delegates and virtual attendees will be able to submit questions live to expert speakers and enjoy networking opportunities at the end.
