Please find hereby an invitation to participate to the online ITB in Berlin by our colleague professor Willy Legrand:

Dear colleagues and friends,

Amidst the current geopolitical crisis, the latest IPCC report was launched yesterday, we face twin threats  - and they are related.

What this all means for the domestic and global travel, tourism and hospitality sectors will be intensely discussed at the 2022 ITB Berlin which is Online, Live and with Free Registration! (https://www.itb.com/en/itb-kongress/)

March 8^th is all about the Future of Travel and Resilience;

March 9^th about eTravel and Technologies

March 10^th about Responsible tourism, Sustainability, and Regeneration

Attached are examples of panels taking place on the morning of March 10^th, but do check the programme for the full line up. All sessions are LIVE with the opportunities to connect with friends and fellow industry leaders.

To academic colleagues: this might also be of particular interest to your students.
