Jet2holidays chief executive Steve Heapy, Abta chairman Alistair Rowland and Jacobs Media Group chairman Clive Jacobs have joined the speaker line-up for Travel Weekly’s Future of Travel Week in September.
Speakers already confirmed for the virtual event, to be held in partnership with Google from September 14-18, include easyJet chief executive Johan Lundgren, Carnival Corporation chief executive Arnold Donald and Hays Travel owners John and Irene Hays.
The Future of Travel Week will take place following the success of the inaugural Future of Travel Selling Conference in 2019, and will feature a range of virtual debates, webinars and interviews as the industry faces its greatest challenge.
The event will also include exclusive insights on consumer trends and contributions from Google and partners.
Lucy Huxley, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, said: “We are delighted to confirm another three outstanding speakers for our Future of Travel Week, with more details of the line-up and sessions to be revealed in the coming weeks.
“We had an incredible response to last year’s Future of Travel Selling Conference, and are proud to continue our relationship with Google as we bring together industry leaders from the UK and around the world to discuss key issues including aviation, cruise, distribution, regulation and sustainability.”
She added: “Our speakers have a wealth of experience and will offer a fascinating insight into how the industry and travel trade will need to evolve as it continues to face unprecedented challenges and threats.”
