21 October 2026 – 2.30pm CEST

Heatwaves, economic pressures, and geopolitical uncertainty all featured in this summer’s travel season.

Tourism Economics will open with the latest data on Europe’s summer performance at regional and destination level. MMGY TCI Research will then examine how this summer’s heatwaves and droughts affected online sentiment and destination reputation. Tourism Economics will close with an outlook for the winter season, including how energy costs could affect travel demand.

This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
