Opening General Session Speaker:
Doug Lansky, Award-Winning Travel Writer, World-Travel Expert, Travel Trends Futurist
“The Real Travel Trends”
This is not your typical data display. Much like Hans Rosling’s hugely popular TED Talks, Doug uses powerful images and a mix of animated bubble charts to make international data come alive. He shows the surprising indicators behind travel trends you’ve never seen before. How do female education rates in developing countries affect who your future customers will be? How close are various nations getting to becoming major international travelers? The world’s international population stands to triple in the next 25 years…once you can see where the growth is coming from, what these emerging travel markets want, you can better position your destination and the marketing to attract these new visitors.
