Seminar Details

The Tourism Society – the UK's leading membership organisation for travel and tourism professionals – and the UNWTO are collaborating once again to offer a thought-provoking and exciting debate addressing a key topical question with international ramifications.

Despite continuing tough global economic environments international tourism looks ahead to increasing visitor arrivals fuelled by growing source markets such as China and India. What steps has the industry put in place to manage this growth…or is it leaving it too late to address the issues associated with record numbers of people travelling the world and putting pressure on destinations?

Our panel of experts will discuss this important subject before the matter is opened to the floor for questions and comments.
