From early January 2020, the COVID-19 is dramatically impacting all players of the travel and tourism ecosystem, with various levels and consequences for destinations. Among must-track indicators for DMOs (bookings, post-crisis visitation recovery, Professionals’ opinions, etc.), the overall ‘sentiment’ shared on global social web channels is focal to monitor as reflecting both the state of opinion related to travel and tourism in overall (optimism, pessimism, growing issues and concerns) and the virality and impact of the crisis on specific destinations’ attractiveness.
During this webinar, TCI will share key insights from its social listening tracker (TRAVELSAT Sentiment Index) and analyse the COVID-19 impact on Asia Pacific reputation built from web social conversations at large that can alter destinations’ attractiveness.
Moderated by Michael Cheng, Ph.D., CHE, Dean Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International University.

With concerns over safety and wellbeing at the forefront, what actions can the hospitality and tourism industry take to help reduce travel anxiety and restore consumer confidence?
This session brings together top executives and tourism consultants from integrated resorts, restaurants, and lifestyle and sustainable tourism to address these issues and offer solutions.
The focus will be on ways to keep lifestyle events, experiential & sustainable tourism alive and well in a post-pandemic world.
