Former BA executive Brewin, now vice president Europe of Eos, will bring his forthright views to an exert panel that has been assembled for the event, ‘Pie in the Sky’.

The following week, December 6, TravelMole’s question time will turn its attention to the cruise industry with Ocean of Opportunity.
The event, sponsored by Amadeus, market leader in cruise applications for agents, will examine how big the cruise industry can get, what factors will shape its growth, how agents can get in on the act and what impact dynamic packaging could have on the sector.
