Travelmole Travel Industry Question Time – venue confirmed
The next Travelmole Travel Industry Question Time wil be held at the London School of Economics, Aldwych, London, on October 19.
A panel of top industry speakers will tackle the question – Is the traditional tour operator the dinosaur of the travel industry?
The line-up includes Opodo head of tours Chris Roe, Cadogan Holidays managing director Tom Allen, Flybe sales director Stephen Hobday, lastminute director holidays and flight John Bevan, Cosmos sales director Andy Washington and Sunvil Holidays’ Noel Josephides, who is to represent the Association of Independent Tour Operators.
The event will be held in room D602, Clements House, at LSE, from 16.30-18.30.
The discussion, to be moderated by travel industry journalist and commentator Jeremy Skidmore, follows what many in the trade have described as the worst summer in 15 years.
