Speaker: George Cao
In 2003, SARS upended global travel and kept people indoors. During Chinese New Year 2020, the spread of the novel coronavirus in China has created significant challenges for the global tourism industry and especially for the Chinese travel trade.
While the public health and travel situation are still unfolding, tourism brands and businesses need to start thinking about a recovery plan now, in order to support industry partners in China and be ready for the inevitable bounce back. To help facilitate this, Dragon Trail Interactive will hold an online summit, Tourism Recovery Action Online Summit, on February 21. This event will help attendees develop plans and strategies for getting through this difficult time by sharing insights and experience from leading travel professionals.
The summit will be held in Mandarin and is accessible via WeChat. Anyone in the tourism industry is warmly invited to join, including travel agents from both traditional agencies and OTAs, tour operators, travel media, suppliers, tourism boards, cruise lines, hotels, and other tourism businesses.
This summit is hosted by Dragon Trail Interactive, through its CTA Live and TNTM platforms.
