Lee Hayhurst, Travolution executive editor, said: “There’s no doubt that OTAs have been on the front line of this pandemic which has dashed hopes of what we predicted to be a good year for travel.
“It will be fascinating to hear how these four leading brands have reacted to deal with the crisis and taken a look at their businesses to prepare them for the future and the travel rebound.
“As the UK and European travel sectors remain stuck in the pits, now is the time to look ahead and make the necessary decisions to ensure your travel businesses is fine-tuned to get back in the race and into the fast lane.”
The Travolution Summit will feature two-half days, with 14 sessions and around 30 expert speakers culminating in a keynote from former McLaren electronic, data and technology division managing director Peter Van Manen.
He offers insights into how Formula One teams use technology and processes to optimise performance and what travel can learn from the sport.
