Description

Once again, CIMTIG brings together a distinguished line up of speakers for its first event of the New Year.

While travel agents press for increased commission, tour and cruise operators, airlines and accommodation suppliers consider other effective methods of distribution. Today we shine the spotlight on agents and consider their perspective.

What marketing strategies are they adopting to attract and retain customers? How cost effective is their service and how can they persuade the principals that they offer the best return on investment?

The event will be moderated by John McEwan, ABTA Chair.

Speakers:

Simon Beeching, Chair of Online Travel Training

John Bevan, Non-executive Director, Ickenham Travel

Lawrence Hunt, Director of lowcostholidays.com

Jackie Steadman, Director of Travel World

Kathryn Bullock, Interim Director, E-Commerce

This promises to be a lively debate, so don't miss out.

Registration 18:15, this event begins at 19:00 and finishes at 21:30.
