Cities globally in 2021: are they recovering as well as expected? What next?
How well are cities recovering in 2021 compared with expectations? How does performance vary and why? Are there any signs of profound structural change as a result of the Covid pandemic, and what are some of the risks and opportunities? We will be addressing those questions and other topics during the webinar.
We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between EMEA, the Americas and APAC:
- EMEA – Wednesday 23rd June | 10:00 BST
- Americas – Wednesday 23rd June| 16:00 EDT
- APAC – Thursday 24th June | 10:00 HKT

Why the cruise sector will rebound faster than after the Great Recession
The cruise sector was hit following the Great Recession by continued increases in capacity while travel demand slowed sharply – deep discounting was required at that time to spur demand. We are now seeing an apparent parallel trend as new cruise capacity spiked in 2022, despite travel remaining well below pre-pandemic norms in most destinations. In this webinar we describe the amount of additional new capacity that will be launched in coming years as well as demand expectations and why we believe sector recovery and cruise pricing will differ in this current cycle.
