First useless @airtransat delays our AMS to YYZ flight by 23 hours without proper notice or info, and now we’ve been waiting for over 2 hours for our luggage at @TorontoPearson. I hope this’d isn’t the new normal…

Fab work from @WouterGeerts & @skiftresearch team mapping the ecosystem of short term rental companies and startups. Ahead of our blockbuster STR Summit to come next week. And psst…a new launch in STR space too!

It’s a disgrace that there are still airports that make you buy bottled water… selling millions of plastic bottles while talking of sustainability. Just like charging points and wifi, surely airports will need to start offering free tap water if they aren’t yet? Or am I naive…

Flyr is at the forefront of AI-based services in the airline sector, worth tuning into this from them, next week! Live or on demand after.

@TradingTrotter @skift @OAG_Aviation We will keep tracking this, as is our partner @OAG_Aviation. But for now, Chinese airlines have yet to publish their capacity data from April onwards so there is a very significant drop in capacity reported for that month onwards which does not provide an accurate image.

[Tourism Innovation Summit @tissevilla]

The first session of the journey has started at the Main Auditorium @TE_GranEmpresa ! @WouterGeerts (Director of Research at @skift ) is talking about Tourism in a World in Flux: 2023 Travel Trends. Join to know his vision! #TIS2022

It’s great listening to all major travel CEOs, but personal favorite is how @skift gives voice to stories and people who wouldn’t be heard otherwise. Inspiring talk by @MarianaOleskiv, chairperson Ukraine Tourism Development at Skift Global Forum #skiftlive

.@ExpediaGroup CEO Peter Kern says while they have 20 brands, main focus is on 3 brands: @Expedia, https://t.co/R5jVy0wbFd and @vrbo

Great insight from @SethBorko @skiftresearch: labor issues were heating up already before the pandemic

.@SethBorko kicking off day 2 of @skift Global Forum with a look around the entire travel world in 30 slides. #skiftlive

[Wouter Geerts @WouterGeerts]

@SkiftMeetings What you end up with is a lot of "as presented in the previous session" etc. Speakers will be put on the spot to come up with a new angle to their locked-in slides to still contribute something original.

[Wouter Geerts @WouterGeerts]

I've been doing quite a few speaking engagement as of late, so this @SkiftMeetings article resonates with me: https://t.co/ZF9zNwIH46

[Wouter Geerts @WouterGeerts]

@SkiftMeetings My personal pet peeve: being at a conference with multiple speakers, where organizers have failed to give clear instructions on topics to be presented by each, and haven't shared info/slides of the different sessions to all speakers

[Wouter Geerts @WouterGeerts]

@STRentalz That's actually taken from a @skift research study, which provided an exploratory exercise on what the potential of the market could be, not stating that the sector is "set to claim" a specific market share. https://t.co/Q4du3qLr4L

We are now almost halfway through 2022, and this year is proving to be a time of strong recovery. There are now 7 countries that score over 100, meaning their current performance is better than during the same period in 2019.
