This session will be a panel discussion, with four senior UK Travel Leaders from leading travel companies across all sectors, giving their understandings of what is currently driving the UK markets, Inbound and Outbound.
Speakers will be asked to outline the key factors that have affected their travel sectors in 2019 and how the year has traded. They will then discuss the outcomes expected for 2020 and beyond. Key issues will include consumer confidence in the UK and across the world, which types of holiday and which destinations are doing better/worse and why; the relationships with overseas partners both for outbound and inbound, currency values, and which destinations will benefit or not. And of course Brexit, and the effect Brexit is having and will have on the markets.

Julia Lo Bue Said, Chief Executive Officer, Advantage Partnership
Jo Rzymowska, Vice President & Managing Director UK & Ireland and Asia, Celebrity Cruises
Patricia Yates, Director of Strategy and Communications for Visit Britain and Visit England.
