 Speaker: Esra Calvert, Esra Calvert Consulting

COVID-19, intertwined with political division and heightened expressions of social unrest, brought many issues to the attention of all of us in travel.

In other cases, new extraordinary challenges and opportunities arose as one of the largest industries as the world battled for survival. To set the stage for our discussion over the next three days, Esra Calvert will reflect upon many of these and on what we have learned that will help ensure a healthier more sustainable travel industry in the future.
