Clients feedback:

1. “Your opening keynote was the perfect blend of audience participation as well as powerful insights and real-life examples that aptly highlighted the state of the travel industry and key lessons learned through the pandemic.

It also touched on key points on the future of travel with digitalization and where is the travel industry headed, forecasting the travel rebound for 2022 – 23. As a Tourism Keynote Speaker, the audience was charmed with the way you put forward your opinions touching base with both the Corporate & Luxury Travel segments.”

2. Your participation to WTA2021 has helped a lot in our almost dying industry. We are among the first ones who closed in the early quarter of 2020 but until now we haven’t opened yet. We are very thankful for your support. It could help awaken the tourism industry who is much affected not just by the pandemic but discouraged about the present situation
