Another day - another track at ITB Berlin . This time the focus was on the Tours and Activites sector. Travel's fastest growing sector and not surprisingly well attended with key notes from Arival and Google to kick us off and close the track. Panel and conversations focused on hidden gems, how to encourage better distribution of travellers ( a seasonal conversation in parts) and understanding what travellers seek and how to provide it sustainably, bringing local economies on board. A heartfelt thanks to all our well prepared speakers and moderators.
