The PM has announced the roadmap for England to emerge from lockdown, prompting a surge in bookings by Brits eager to get away. But with certain MPs warning it is “too soon” to be booking holidays, how confident is the industry of a strong summer? Will the pent up demand for travel be realised this year? What will the travel experience look like? Will holidays be more costly – and will consumers be prepared to pay for them if so?
Using exclusive new research into consumer behaviour by TTG Media seminar partner PwC, this latest Agenda 2021 seminar will address these points and more as we explore when – and how – will travel restart?

This panel debates what needs to happen to convince government to put cruise back on the map, how long it will take the industry to win back consumer confidence and whether the long term cruise experience will have changed for good as a result of this crisis. |
