Elsewhere on the agenda on the ATM Virtual 2021, hoteliers from ACCOR, Mantis Collection, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and Red Carnation Hotels convened at The ATM Hotel Industry Summit to explain how they’ve adapted to the super-acceleration of global wellness and sustainability movements, evolving their hotels and services to respond to overwhelming traveller demand for health and wellbeing solutions and sustainable practices that support the environment and local communities.
This was followed by two separate airline leadership keynote interviews, which focused on seizing new opportunities and moving ahead despite the crippling effects of the pandemic. In the first interview, Air Arabia Group’s CEO Adel Ali discussed how he is managing the crisis whilst still keeping an eye on opportunities. Meanwhile, the second interview featured flydubai’s CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith, where he shared how he envisions flydubai’s development and evolution in the years ahead and explored likely network growth, product developments, and the deepening and evolving partnership with Emirates.
Other sessions include insights and tools for COVID-19 safe recovery, how the lack of international travel has affected the regional F&B scene, the increasing importance of responsible hospitality, and the technology that will drive a more sustainable future for travel.
“Sustainability in travel and tourism has been a major focus at ATM over the years, but now, more than ever, concerns about the travel industry’s impact on the environment are becoming one of the defining issues for the sector for future generations,” said Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market. “This session highlights how technology and sustainability will converge to ensure a vibrant and responsible future for travel.”
