Speaker: Greg Richards, WYSE Travel Confederation
Thursday 10 March 11:00-11:30
Greg Richards will discuss ways in which destinations are being reshaped by the sharing economy and how the ‘local’ in tourism is being reinvented.
Young travellers in particular are at the vanguard of these developments, interacting with the places they visit through the use of new technologies and their integration with local lifestyles. This session investigates some of the implications of these changes for destinations and tourism operators.
