| | ITB BERLIN CONVENTION | INTERNATIONAL TOP SPEAKERS DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF TOURISM |  | New impulses and ideas for the tourism of the future are promised by the ITB Convention Berlin, which will once again take place on the ITB Berlin grounds from 7 to 9 March. The event, which will feature top international speakers, will focus on the diverse developments of a dynamically changing world.
Experts from politics, business and science will discuss in a total of 18 thematic tracks how the travel industry can meet the challenges of digitalisation and climate change, but also the consequences of new geopolitical conflicts, and find its way back to success.
| The guests can expect answers already on the first day during the "Future Track", where the effects of global developments, but also solutions in the form of new corporate strategies and innovations will be discussed. Top managers such as Sebastian Ebel (CEO, TUI AGGroup), Charuta Fadnis (Senior Vice President, Research, Phocuswright) and Chris Hemmeter (Co-Founder, Thayer Ventures) will present analyses from various perspectives.
|
With a focus on the future of work, the "Future Work Track" analyses another highly topical industry issue. Trends such as a shortage of skilled workers, gender equality and remote working call for new concepts in recruiting and management. Experts such as Sybille Reià (Chief People Officer, TUI Group), Stefanie Berk (Director, Marketing, DB Fernverkehr) and Traci Mercer (Global Senior Vice President, Sabre) will analyse how work in tourism can remain attractive in the future.
|
| Transformation in the hospitality industry is the topic of the "Hospitality Track", which will provide the audience with practical "hands on" solutions. International speakers will discuss how businesses can invest in sustainability and digitalisation and increase their competitiveness in the process. Hospitality managers such as Eyal Amzallag (Selina), Javier Aguila (Hyatt Hotel Corporation) and Ingmar Sloothaak (Sircle Collection) will discuss insights from their respective companies.
