16:15 - 17:15, Monday 14 September

Travel and tourism is one of the sectors most impacted by Covid-19, but despite this the industry is showcasing a huge amount of resilience and creativity.

In this plenary session Laura Van Eeckhout of Foresight Factory will explore how the needs of young travellers in particular have changed during these extraordinary times. She will look at how young people can be attracted through experiences that are adapted to the next normal, yet as exciting and inspiring as ever.
