Despite much remaining unknown and unknowable about the future of travel post COVID-19, we are already seeing emerging trends about health and hygiene in travel and tourism (T&T) concerning traveller booking behaviour and resident sentiment. This means that destination managers and marketers need to rethink, rebuild, and reposition their destination’s focus on health and hygiene accordingly. As such, this session examines health and hygiene trends in T&T to see if and how they might impact destination competitiveness in the future.
Join us at the PTM Forum - “The Impact of Health and Hygiene on Post-COVID-19 Destination Competitiveness in Asia Pacific”, on Friday, September 25, 2020 at 4 PM ICT.
