Program Highlights

Travellers expect the industry to do more to address their concerns around the environment and social good. At the same time, they seek value in return for parting with their hard-earned money.
Size and incumbency may provide an advantage to the Titans of the industry, whether suppliers, intermediaries or technology players. But will that be enough to ensure continued success?
Changing industry dynamics open doors for those who wait in the wings, biding their time and ready to forge their own paths forward. These Trailblazers aren’t coy about their ambitions to become the titans of tomorrow.
