Building Strategic Intelligence Series 2021 - Travel & Tourism in Transformation - English

The Travel & Tourism sector was one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving not only companies but also tourism-driven national economies severely affected by shutdowns, travel restrictions and the disappearance of international travel. Fortunately, there are positive signals, and analysis shows that recovery has started, albeit not at the same pace across the globe or in the same market segments. This session explores what new practices, solutions and policies could ensure that travel and tourism returns in a way that preserves the many assets on which it is founded, future-proofs it in the face of environment, social and economic risks, and reinstates it as a meaningful contributor to inclusive economic development, cultural exchange and job creation globally.
