Agenda

#1 Generational Shifts: Attitudes to Future Travel, Sustainability and Exploration 

In Conversation with Lisa Imlach, Director of Corporate Affairs, Skyscanner

Each year, travel platforms survey travelers to identify emerging trends, habits, and desires, offering valuable insights into the future of travel. The latest research by Skyscanner reveals that while the desire to travel remains robust, there is a clear generational shift in making conscious decisions on future travel. From growing demand and growing spend, to attitudes towards overtourism and new focusses, this session will explore the opportunities for industry to address blockers and help travellers take more considered approaches to their trips.

#2 Empowering Cities and Driving More Sustainable Tourism 

In Conversation with Clement Eulry, Country Manager France & Belgium, Airbnb & James Cassidy, Senior Director Partner Success EMEA, Expedia Group

Short-term rentals play an essential role in Europe’s tourism ecosystem. They allow for greater consumer choice and have provided opportunities for smaller tourism operators and European citizens to reach global markets. The adaptability of short-term rentals has also allowed cities to expand their tourism offering at moments of heightened demand. However, in today’s rapidly evolving urban environments, cities require accurate and comprehensive data to manage tourism effectively. This session will highlight pioneering industry initiatives that provide cities with critical insights into tourism activities and the impacts of short-term rentals. In doing so, travel tech platforms can enable cities to craft data-driven policies that support tourism growth whilst safeguarding local communities.

#3 Bridging the Data Gap: Empowering Travelers with Seamless Travel Options 

In Conversation Carsten Bernhard, Chief Technology Officer, eDreams ODIGEO

Access to comprehensive and accurate transport data is essential for intermediaries striving to offer travelers the best possible options. This panel will investigate how enhanced data accessibility can transform the travel industry, enabling seamless, efficient, and sustainable travel experiences. The discussion will cover the critical role of regulation in this transformation, focusing on initiatives such as the highly anticipated legislative proposal on Multimodal Digital Mobility Services (MDMS). It will address how these advancements will empower European travelers with better, more integrated travel choices, ensuring a more connected and sustainable journey.
