Asia: Inbound and Outbound Travel Growing Globally
When: Tuesday 3 November, 14:30-15:30 Where: WTM Global Stage AS850
The fastest growing leisure travel markets for many countries are from and to Asia, an area that was not until recently seen to be the major force in the inbound and outbound markets. But all this seems to have changed. What has driven this growth? What are the types of holidays and the countries that are most benefitting, and will this growth continue? The panelists are from organisations that have been at the forefront of the inbound and outbound markets in the Asia region. They will discuss the key issues that have driven this growth, where this growth is coming from now (and will come from in the future), and what destinations and passenger suppliers need to do to benefit even more.
Moderator: Anita Mendiratta, Managing Director, Cachet Consulting Speakers: Tran Trong Kien, Chairman & General Director of Thien Minh Group (Buffalo Tours); Mario Hardy, CEO, PATA; Peter Kerkar, Group CEO, Cox & Kings; and Wendy Wu, Founder and CEO, Wendy Wu Tours.

UK Inbound & Domestic Travel Breaking Records
When: Wednesday 4 November, 15:30-16:30 Where: South Gallery Rooms 13&14
There has been a significant increase in the number of tourists in the UK, both domestic and inbound in recent years. Why is this? Will it continue? Who is benefitting most and who can benefit going forward? A number of factors may be contributing to this – improvement in the quality of destinations and their product, new sales and promotional activity, and stronger distribution channels throughout. The panelists are from companies that have been leading this change in the domestic and inbound holiday markets. They will explain why the growth is taking place, what has changed recently, how the markets are evolving and how they will continue to grow in the future. Moderator: Deirdre Wells, Chief Executive, UKInbound Speakers: Terry Williamson, Chief Executive, JacTravel; Denis Wormwell, Chief Executive, Shearings Holidays; Kyle Haughton, MD, City Cruises; and Neil Davies, Head of Travel Trade, Bourne Leisure.
