About this event
As the summer draws to a close and fully vaccinated travel starts to become easier, here at The Independent we are keen to answer the question: what happens next?
The travel traffic light system remains as confusing as ever, with the rules changing every few weeks for those wishing to travel abroad, as well as those hoping to travel into the UK. And there is no escaping the bleak fact that the pandemic has decimated the travel industry over the past year and half, but what does the future hold?
During The Independent’s next virtual travel event, our very own renowned travel expert Simon Calder will be hosting a panel discussion on what is likely to happen next to travel and whether the future is as bright as we all might be hoping for.
Simon will be joined by two experts who only know too well how much impact all the restrictions have had on travelling both within the UK and places further afield. The Chief Executive of Visit Cornwall Malcolm Bell and Chief Executive of Advantage Travel Partnership, Julia Lo Bue-Said, will be touching on the reality of staycations and what their future holds, as well as tips for planning a holiday abroad and if we can ever expect any sense of normality when it comes to booking a break away.

Tourism & Heritage Experts
About this event
Tourism, as the practice of people travelling to other places to encounter other people, is made precarious by the spread of infectious disease and attenuates this spread. This knowledge is not new and the relationship between tourism and the spread of infection has never disappeared. Tourism remains a significant influencer of ‘global microbial traffic’ (Morse, 1992) but this has largely remained manageable, at acceptable levels of risk, and with the worst-case scenarios remaining mostly dormant. Notable, and fairly recent, exceptions include SARS (2003), Swine flu (2009) and MERS (2012) among the respiratory infections that have influenced tourism in regional concentrations. Not only are such outbreaks appearing to occur with greater frequency, but the greater volume of tourist arrivals increases their potential to do harm. In 2003, against the forecast for volumes of international tourism, Linda Richter envisaged that 2020 would deliver ‘an unprecedented risk of infectious disease and other health-related crises’ (p. 340). The accuracy of her prediction is now well appreciated.
Some of the infrastructure being drawn upon to manage COVID-19 has been in place, if less obviously, for most of the duration of modern tourism, like mandatory vaccination schedules; other infrastructure, like dedicated quarantine facilities, have since been made redundant while newer technologies like surveillance networks have become key tools in managing the mobility of infectious disease through tourism. With public health calls for strategic as well immediate responses, how can the tourism industry begin to deal with the changed landscape through which it will undoubtably need to operate.
We’ll be joined by academic and industry experts:
Tony Martin, CEO of the Qantas Founders Museum
Kelly Hendry, Destination Management at Parkes Shire Council, NSW
Annie Clarke, Professor of Archaeology and Heritage, University of Sydney
Michael Hall, Professor in the Geographies of Tourism, University of Canterbury (NZ)
Giovanna Lever, Founder and CEO of Sparrowly Group
Trevor Sofield, Professor in the Economics of Tourism, University of Tasmania
Felicity Picken (Chair), Lecturer in Tourism and Heritage, Western Sydney University

Description
One clear winner from the last 12 months of global lockdowns and travel restrictions is the environment. But the environment is benefitting in other ways too. m1nd-set’s research, conducted during the first quarter of 2021 among over 2000 international travellers from all world, shows that global consumers in general have become significantly more socially and environmentally conscious since the outbreak of the pandemic, with around two-thirds claiming to be making more environmentally friendly or ethical purchases since the start of the pandemic. This does not only includes what consumer shop for – more ethical or environmentally friendly produced products – but also how they shop. m1nd-set’s research explains also that sustainable consumption is here to stay.
Speakers:
* Dr. Peter Mohn – Owner & CEO , m1nd-set
* Anna Marchesini – Head of Business Development, m1nd-set
The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) manages the GSTC Criteria, the global baseline standards for sustainable travel and tourism; as well as acts as the international accreditation body for sustainable tourism certification. www.gstcouncil.org

Hospitality Industry
Our special guest is co-owner of Strategic Hospitality, holder of twelve hospitality businesses in Nashville.
About this event
In May 2020, over 52% of U.S. small businesses in the leisure and hospitality industry reported temporarily closing, and over 35% reported a decrease in the number of paid employees. Max discusses how, following the devastating impact the COVID pandemic has had on hospitality, they have reframed their approach for serving their community.
It was a real team effort to navigate the waters and to prioritise what really matters in life. Through supporting employees to stay involved and engaged, they forged ahead as a team to not only thrive in the post-pandemic world but astonishingly to open another restaurant mid-pandemic.
The Goldbergs create a culture of pride that translates well with staff “People may not remember what you said or did, but they always remember how they feel.”
During the show, we will discuss Max’s mission to create a better world and how he has formed partnerships to help others achieve their dreams.
✔️ How to exercise the power of resilience and creativity to re-energise your hospitality business?
✔️ What are the core traits, skills, values needed in a post-pandemic world to thrive as an entrepreneur in the hospitality industry ?
✔️ Why is it so important to help others no matter where you are in life
Join us as we discuss these questions and more!

This format aims to bring together industry practitioners, policy makers, researchers and students to exchange ideas and search for solutions.

Tourism Professionals
About
This webinar discusses how local heritages and identities can be utilized to create opportunities for tourism in communities through local foods. The benefits of food tourism go far beyond just marketing and destination branding. Local food contributes to sustainable economic systems and resilience. Participants in food tourism engage in meaningful culinary experiences which provide a “taste” of the local culture and identity through cuisine. In particular, food tourism experiences draw heavily on a place’s social and natural resources which provide the foundations from which visitors can taste the foodscapes attached to a unique land and, at the same time, foster both self and community wellbeing. The webinar would include stories of places where food tourism has worked to the advantage of the host community and its visitors.

Hospitality
Bruntwood Works and NRB invites you to this free panel webinar giving you practical tips on the future of hospitality, focusing onexperience
About this event
For the next seminar we will take a fresh look at hospitality venues and the ‘visitor journey’, as in a post-lockdown world the live experience is more vital than ever and arguably the main USP a restaurant or bar can offer over delivery or cook at home.
Once this began at the front desk as a guest entered a venue, with maybe only a preliminary phone call to confirm a booking. But now the visitor experience with a venue or a brand encompasses an extended, blended experience of digital and live. From a prospective diner’s first engagement via social/website, to the booking engine, to the traditional walk through the door of the venue itself.
Topics addressed will include:
- How to make your brand experience seamless from digital to live.
- How consumer tastes are changing post-Covid, and how concepts are evolving to match.
- Design, interiors and setting.
- Theatre and social media moments. Crucial, or a distraction?
- Why the basics of ‘sound, lighting and temperature’ still matter.
- Staff, service and the human touch.
- The greeting, and the bill.
About Spark
Sometimes we need some inspiration or a helping hand to spark a great idea. Something that could enhance your product, a better way of working, or even a brand new company. We want to spark your great idea and together, with the right people and tools, we can grow it into something incredible. So that’s why Bruntwood Works has created a Business Support programme of insightful Spark Webinars, one-to-one Spark Advisor sessions, practical Spark Workshops and curated Spark Connections. We’re here every step of the way – you’ve got this!
