Following the success of the first virtual Resilience Council summit, the Global Travel & Tourism Resilience Council will move to conduct its second series which will look into how destinations are dealing with new challenges and opportunities arising from the pandemic.

The second summit on July 8 will be held in partnership with Jacobs Media Group and FINN Partners.

There will be eight webinars available to access throughout the day, including sessions on Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Each panel will take an in-depth look into what is working and how each destination differs in their approach to recovery following the crisis.

A strong line-up of speakers will include PATA’s Mario Hardy; Jamaica minister of tourism Edmund Bartlett; Beautiful Destinations’ Jeremy Jauncey; Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority’s Raki Philips; and Intrepid Group’s James Thornton.

The virtual destination summit is one of a series of activities presented by Finn Partners and the Global Travel and Tourism Resilience Council, and is part of a succession of initiatives which include the launch of the Finn Partners Travel Recovery and Resilience Think Tank, a unique collection of some of the world’s best thinkers in health, technology, travel, sustainability, media and culture.
