Aviation and Tourism: Challenges and opportunities
Tuesday 18 June 2024 – Greece
Air transport and tourism and structurally interdependent; the demand for air transport is of derived nature essentially depending on leisure, business and other tourism activities taking place in situ. Tourism collapsed during COVID-19 but it is now strongly rebounding: 2024 is expected to be a record year in many European Mediterranean countries at least. Sustainability and resilience prove of major importance for tourism destinations and this is also inevitably related to air transport strategies and operations. This year’s Summer Aviation Forum will bring together leaders of the aviation sector to discuss the future of air transport and tourism in the new era and how to navigate emerging geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
