TEDx-style inspirational interludes will also feature.

The Keynote speech will be delivered by Ty Speer, President & CEO, Tourism Vancouver, Canada.

Further speakers are:

Helen Campbell, Head of Global Marketing, VisitScotland

Delegates will also enjoy a selection of discovery tours exploring Edinburgh’s 250-year-old New Town and up-to-date festival venues and sites, along with the opportunity to travel to Glasgow; an informal networking supper will take place on the Monday evening.

2017 will be a very exciting year for the Tourism Society as it celebrates its 40th anniversary. The Tourism Symposium is one of a number of special events throughout the year and across the UK.
