Its Technology Opportunities for Travel and Tourism in a Post-Viral World webinar will explore how the need for social distancing when travelling and in destinations, and a move towards more frictionless travel, will change the industry’s application of technology.

Joining him will be ex-Travelzoo boss, Joel Brandon-Bravo, (currently vice-president of travel solutions at TransPerfect), Jean Noel Lau Keng Lun , vice-president of digital at Accor and chief technology officer of Topflight Travel Group, Robert Gray.
