Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief executive Steve Heapy will represent the airline and tour operating sectors, while Clia managing director Andy Harmer will offer insights on all things cruise.

Intrepid Travel managing director EMEA Zina Bencheikh, meanwhile, will address delegates on the latest trends in adventure and experiential travel, and on Intrepid’s sustainability mission.

They will appear alongside journalist and television presenter Steph McGovern, who will host the conference – which will include an afternoon of presentations and panel interviews.

Dame Irene Hays, owner and chair of Hays Travel, said the trio’s combined knowledge and expertise would make for "an extremely informative session".

"Steve and Andy will bring their insights of post-pandemic travel from the perspective of both land and sea, while Zina will be speaking about the rise of experiential travel and sustainability," said Dame Irene.

More than 30 suppliers are due to attend the event next month, as well as 90 delegates from across Hays IG and its support team.
