In 2018, a futurist by the name of Richard Watson told The Telegraph newspaper that a pandemic would cancel all travel. Among his predictions was the following prophecy: “The travel industry will shut down – but it will bounce back.”
So what does Watson think about the current situation and what could come next? What might the travel landscape look like post-pandemic? Where might people go? How might they travel and what might they seek out or avoid once they arrive?
Most of all, what might some of the residual problems and opportunities be for the travel industry and for travel insurance? Questions that have no doubt been at the forefront of minds these last months.
Atrium Health invites you to join best-selling author and Futurist, Richard Watson for what promises to be an inspiring session on Thursday 5 November 2020, 13:00 GMT
Focussing on the near future, Richard will inject a dose of much needed optimism into proceedings and consider how individuals and organisations alike can ride out the prevailing storm. One answer, ironically, is to partly ignore the future, to focus on the present and to use history to inject a proper sense of perspective.
We’re thrilled to welcome Richard to the ITIC Connected 2020 line-up. And, as we all now prepare for the future and the aftermath of the pandemic, is this a session that you can really afford to miss?
