Wednesday and Thursday, September 9-10
Center Stage:
As the virus subsides, Europe is hoping for some normalcy as it tentatively follows Asia into a post-COVID world. Until then, travel companies must forge their own paths through the chaotic landscape.
They need to make bold decisions for long-term viability while reclaiming their current businesses. They must convince travelers where, when and how it’s safe to travel and then prepare for sudden shifts and new restrictions.
Each company must evaluate its own level of risk as it navigates the crisis with an eye toward recovery in 2021.
