Global City Travel: How city tourism performs when the global economy slows?

At a national level global travel has slowed but still performing better than the global economy.

Join us as we discuss how city tourism has performed in 2025 amid a slowing economic backdrop and elevated uncertainty as we take a look at recent trends and the outlook for 2026. We will explain the regional trends and look at some early indications of how AI might play a growing role in travel behaviour.

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.
