Destined for Change! - The Future Landscape of International Tourism Demand
What are "Gamma Destinations" and what is ‘Lisness Travel’? Do you enjoy "Type 2 Fun" and will you be "Set-Jetting" for your next holiday? This year at the Norsk Opplevelseskonferanse Ben Martin, who is the Global Director of HKS Hospitality Advisory, will be sharing the key trends that are currently driving demand for international leisure on tourism, drawing upon his experience from working on consulting commissions from Norway to France and from Oman to Saudi Arabia.
Markets change and evolve but, in the words of Wayne Gretzsky, ‘we should be skating to where the puck is going to be and not where it has been’. Join us to take a look at big-picture demand trends in this crucial and enlightening session.
