There are less than seven weeks left until The Travel Convention gets underway in Calvià, Mallorca.
I’m especially excited about this year’s theme – ‘Reasons to be Cheerful’. Travel, as we know, is not without its challenges: global conflict, climate challenges and political dynamics have been in the news over the past year and have the potential to make the outlook for travel feel bleak.
However, it’s important to focus on how we can create positives amid the backdrop of some of these challenges. There is a motivational and leadership aspect to finding the bright side of things to help people through challenging times – all of which we look to bring to The Travel Convention.
Beyond the joy of celebrating travel itself, The Travel Convention is also one of the best opportunities in the year to make meaningful connections. It brings together senior leaders – including members of the ABTA board, innovators, experts and partners from across the industry – all under one roof. Their perspectives, experience, and vision add real depth to the conversations, and their presence reflects the importance of the Convention as a space where ideas can influence strategy and shape the future of our industry.
Whether you’re looking to spark new collaborations, strengthen existing relationships, or share ideas that shape the future of travel, the discussions that happen here often lead to real business impact.
Of course, the setting could not be more fitting. With its rich and evolving tourism offer and popularity among UK holidaymakers, Mallorca is an incredibly important destination for the UK travel trade. Not only that, but Calvià has seen an exciting transformation recently, making it an inspiring place to host The Travel Convention.
I look forward to seeing you in Calvià – register for The Travel Convention here.
