What’s the future of high street travel agents? Join the debate
More top speakers are being lined up for the next TravelMole Travel Industry Question Time to discuss the future of high street travel agents.
Advantage Travel Centres managing director John McEwan and Hotels4u.com sales and marketing director John Harding have been confirmed as speakers at next month’s debate.
The event on November 16 follows on from TravelMole’s successful recent tour operator debate.
After the Court of Appeal decision which means that agents will not have obtain ATOLS, there may have been a collective sigh of relief from the retail trade.
But with operators led by TUI poised to hugely increase their dynamic packaging capabilities following the ruling, agents will face even more competition.
And with more customers booking online, how should high street agents respond? Just who is leading the fight in the retail revolution?
The discussion, to be moderated by travel industry journalist and commentator Jeremy Skidmore, will feature a range of top speakers, with more names to be confirmed this week.
Travel Industry Question Time in conjuction with Dubai and Hilton will be held on November 16 between 16.30-18.30 at the London Hilton Canary Wharf.
