Call for speakers

Go on stage at the largest global conference for tourism professionals 

The outlook of tourism looks promising. As all destinations are now open to travellers with the reopening of China’s borders, we can finally say that international travel has bounced back across all regions. Despite the current economic inflation, climate impacts or geopolitical risks, the hunger to discover new destinations or the desire to endure experiences with purpose is more alive than ever.

However, tourism has changed and all stakeholders in within the industry must embrace this transformation. The acceleration of digitalization, the importance of sustainability and new consumer trends are driving a cutting-edge tourism that needs to be smarter, digital, and sustainable.

While last year GenAI was grabbing everyone’s attention, 2024 it is going to be the year to test, implement and share results of Artificial Intelligence on business. We are seeing how generative AI affected both suppliers and customers. But not only that, companies who include AI in the online presentation of their services have been able to significantly increase their turnover. While generative AI is getting all the attention in terms of innovation, there are many other innovations in travel and technology that will and are already influencing the way travel companies operate in the coming years and transforming the travel experience.

Cloud, Business Intelligence, Data, Connectivity, Automation tools, Channels Managers, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, Web3, VR/AR and of course AI are enhancing the travel experience and the operations on tourism. It is a moment of great opportunities for tourism to understand how to become more competitive, smarter, innovative and more sustainable by boosting the latest technologies to elevate our industry.
