“We are putting together an agenda that will provide inspiration, insight and ideas that can help luxury travel businesses retain their place in the life of the luxury traveller,” said TTG Luxury editor April Hutchinson.
“We often hear the luxury sector recovers first after a crisis, and while we know there is still a long way to go, I feel the green shoots are poking through. The conference will be a well-timed event at which to come together, share experiences, support each other and learn about the opportunities sure to emerge as affluent travellers get on the move again. In my years in travel, there’s never felt like a more important event for the luxury sector to come together again.”
Delegates will be welcomed for coffee first thing, with a full day of content starting from 9.30am, and plenty of other networking opportunities over further breaks and lunch.
Early-bird tickets for £149 will be available until 10 September, and after that time, will cost £199. A 10% discount is also available for TTG+ members to attend.
