| Zambia is the ITB Berlin 2018 Convention & Culture Partner | |
|
| In addition to safaris and luxury holidays Zambia’s focus is to expand value chains.
Zambia, a jewel strategically located in the heart of Southern Africa, continues to poise itself as an auspicious destination and it is still largely untouched by tourism exploits. This naturally beautiful country will be the Convention & Culture Partner of ITB Berlin 2018. ”It has good prospects as a tourism destination and is currently developing a highly sustainable tourism infrastructure."
|
|
|
|
|
" We look forward to highlighting the attractions of Zambia as a travel destination in 2018.” said David Ruetz, Head of ITB Berlin.
|
|
|
|
| The key topics are set! | |
|
| We've been working intensively on finalizing the three key topics of the ITB Berlin Convention 2018: Overtourism, the Revolution of Travel - New Means of Transportation and two practical AI topics: Personalization and Customer Centricity.
Sneak Peak into an Overtourism session:
The Hot Seat: Sharing Economy - Blessing or Curse for Destinations?
In this „hot“ session at the ITB Destination Day 1 on 07 March you’ll be confronted with some uncomfortable truths. Our two opponents - not at all afraid of conflict - are Burkhard Kieker, Managing Director, visitBerlin and Alexander Schwarz, General Manager Germany, Austria & Switzerland, Airbnb. Will they eventually find a solution?
