World Routes 2013 Conferences

World Routes in Las Vegas has developed its conference programme even further, with the conference streams proving extremely popular with attendees at the event; these include the Strategy Summit and the World Tourism Summit which are held in partnership with ICAO and the World Bank and IATA, PATA, ICTP and TTG respectively, and also the Invest & Manage briefings too.

This addition encourages teams to bring their CEOs and key stakeholders with them to the event so that whilst the marketing and business development teams are in meetings their CEOs have their own dedicated programme of conference sessions.

Listen to key speakers including: Estuardo Ortiz, Executive Vice President & CCO, Avianca; James Hogan, CEO, Etihad Airways; Akbar al Baker, CEO, Qatar Airways; Andrew Levy, President, Allegiant and Stephen Attenborough, Commercial Director Virgin Galactic. They can also listen to the outcome of the ICAO general assembly where Dr Djibo will give his first address following the general assembly and where we expect there will be an update on carbon trading and EU ETS.

The World Tourism Summit will include keynote addresses from Brand USA and Facebook and panel participation from the likes of Roger Dow the President & CEO of the US Travel Association and David Scowsill the President and CEO of the World Travel & Tourism Council.

Some of the issues discussed will include how regional and national governments can align their tourism economic development and aviation strategies. (In addition to this they have time to join selected face to face meetings).
