How Travel Trends Are Shaping Event Experiences: This is a big topic when the event industry gathers. From trends like: Bleisure, to the importance of emotional experiences, to the backlash against tourism and the #TSwift effect on economies - you can read our summary from Skift Meetings Global Forum at the link below. I'd also promised a separate post on a favourite speaker from the Forum and to say I was inspired by the message from Zita Cobb, Founder of Fogo Island Inn, is an understatement. (Also tell me you don't want to pack up now and go there!) From the incredible impact of the hospitality and tourism industry to the way she tied the link between tourism, and developing the potential of a local culture - people and places - was powerful. It reinforced for me - the desire for experiences and the 'spoil me' of luxury destinations is what we should be striving to bring to all our events.
