Seminars put e-travel revolution into focus
Delegates invited to debate industry issues
World Travel Market will have a programme of seminars and debates running throughout the four days of the event. The programme has been divided into three themes: incentive, conference and business travel; e-travel; and Discovery.
The incentive, conference and business travel sessions, which take place on November 14,are aimed at both exhibitors and visitors to WTM.
E-travel seminars
The advantages and challenges of e-commerce will be tackled in the e-travel seminars, which are aimed both at technophobes and the technologically aware. The sessions, which cost £20, take place throughout the week in the Marlborough Room, first floor, Earl’s Court 1.
There will be two debates to back up the e-travel seminars, one entitled ‘e-travel: revolution or evolution?’, and the other titled ‘Death of a salesman’.
The debates, which are free of charge, will take place in the central feature area of Earl’s Court 1.
Discovery seminars
Specifically aimed at travel agents, the Discovery seminars have a strong technology theme. They include sessions on how to get ahead on the Internet, and how to use the Web as a marketing tool.
Taking place on November 15 and 16 in the Chelsea Room, first floor, Earl’s Court 1, the Discovery seminars are free of charge.
Delegates planning to attend any of the sessions are advised to book in advance, either via the Internet at http://travel.reedexpo.com, or by telephone on 0870 7511482 or by fax on 0870 7511483.
