First panellists confirmed for domestic tourism debate

Saturday, 20 Apr, 2005 0

Seats have gone on sale for next month’s TravelMole FastConference, the next in our series of high profile debates. The event, on May 10, will tackle the issue of domestic tourism. The rising popularity of the short-break should work in favour of the domestic tourism industry as Britons look to explore their own back yards, but the rise of no-frills airlines and the trade focus on selling overseas holidays, means domestic tourism fails to fulfil its potential. This TravelMole Fast Conference will look at how domestic tourism is being sold and distribution issues affecting domestic tourism suppliers, how agents could be incentivised to sell domestic holidays, and what the future is for selling British holidays to the Brits. We have lined up a top class panel to debate the issues. So far it includes: Thomas Cook head of trade relations, Anna Bentley; Enjoy England marketing director, Michael Beddingfield; East Midland Tourism chief executive Richard Dickinson and British Holiday and Home Parks Association director general, Ros Pritchard. Moderating the event, and sure to keep the panellists on their toes is TravelMole’s columnist and ex-Travel Weekly editor, Jeremy Skidmore. The event takes place at the New Connaught Rooms, Great Queen Street, London, from 3pm – 5pm on May 10, and is followed by drinks and a chance to “network”. For details and to register go to www.travelmole.com/fastconferences or call 020 7691 3292. The price is £99 for delegates, reduced to £59 for tour operators and agents, and £49 for students.
