Statista's data and forecasts are an indispensable basis for decision makers of global travel providers!

Which segments are particularly affected, which might even experience a Corona boom in the future? And what conclusions can tourism providers draw from these developments?

PRESENTATION & INTERVIEW I 3 – 3:30 pm
Business Travel Collapse: Will There Be A Successful Recovery?
Christoph Carnier, President, German Business Travel Association VDR
It looks like business travel will remain benched on the sideline: home office, video conferencing, MICE shutdown, companies under cost pressure, bankruptcies ... Has the business travel segment suffered irreparable damage or can we hope for a successful recovery? What are the plans of global companies and what do their travel budgets look like for the future? How can the business travel segment recover and what can travel providers do now? Mr Carnier presents first findings from the VDR Business Travel Analysis 2020, reveals the status quo in top German companies and the global business travel segment.

PRESENTATION & INTERVIEW I 3:30 – 4 pm
“Destination Demand And Choice For Global Travelers – Tectonic Destination Shift In Times Of COVID-19”
Dr. David Ermen, Managing Director, Destination Capacity
In times of COVID-19, travel restrictions determine the choice of destination - not customer wishes or tourism providers! How do tourists deal with these travel restrictions? Do they return to their usual destinations after the restrictions are relaxed or do they stick to the new travel patterns? Will former top tourism destinations be out in the future and will new potential for "second-tier" destinations emerge? What should destinations do now to reverse the economic downturn?
