BOOK SUMMARY
The Covid crisis and its
caesura have had traumatic impacts on the worlds of work and travel.
All engaged in Incentive Travel need to carefully consider how we can recuperate, re-connect, re-boot and thrive by becoming active, relevant and prosperous once again.
Finding a restorative medium between gravitational pull and centrifugal force, so to say.
This book covers a wide variety of topical subjects and themes.
It is a benchmark for where our industry is at, and for where it could be going to.
It is an impetus for both discussion and debate.
Serving as a contribution to business planning and future-minded Incentive Travel conception; to programme design and sustainable trip delivery.
