I love sharing my expertise in the field of communication while learning from other experts in the industry. Participating at the Travel Congress as a visitor or expert is valuable.”

Saskia Griep

Managing Director -Better Places

The travel industry is facing enormous challenges. Will we continue as before or will we seize this crisis as an opportunity to shape travel in a different way? A way in which we all benefit, residents, visitors, the environment and entrepreneurs. This requires a lot of creativity and innovation. The Travel Congress is the ideal event to exchange views.”

The past year and a half has made the travel industry realise more than once that we need to learn from each other how to make the industry different, better and more sustainable. At the Travel Congress, you will find the expertise, innovative ideas and sparring partners you need to be prepared for the future and for that reason you cannot afford to miss it.”

Wieke Vrielink

“Travelling and discovering new places makes a person happy. And not even the Coronavirus can stop us wanting to explore the world. The way in which we travel and explore is different for everyone and will certainly change in the future. All this is driven in particular by consumer awareness of sustainability and natural technology, that allows us to offer consumers more and more convenience, comfort and inspiration.”
