TRAVEL HASHTAG IN ITS SIXTH EDITION

The sixth edition of Travel Hashtag, an international event within the Travel & Tourism Industry organized in Dubai by the tour operator Tourmeon, ended on Sunday 8 May.
A panel discussion that saw involved technical professionals and tourism sector experts, including Vivaticket Dubai Branch Managing Director, Davide Camaiora.

The objective of the roundtable was to address a single, but central question: what is the legacy of Expo2020 Dubai and what is its impact on the recovery of global tourism.

The discussion, moderated by Nicola Romanelli, Founder & Chairman of Travel Hashtag, was started by the intervention of Fabrizio Puglisi, Partner of Tourmeon, who remarked how the absolutely positive impact of Expo 2020 on the Dubai destination has helped to strengthen around the image of a safe, pleasant and captivating tourist destination, both with regard to business and leisure trips. Dubai, therefore, as a cultural, business and connection destination.
In order for the legacy of Expo not to be extinguished, ad hoc strategies that exploit the great opportunities created by the universal Expo appear to be necessary, in the wake of experiential tourism and based on technologies that allow safe fruition of the events.

Davide Camaiora underlined the fundamental role of technology, which allowed Expo 2020 to take place in total safety: «Expo 2020 represented a moment of strong contrast between the fear of unforeseen events and the desire to return to live and travel. Technology first provided an answer: health passport integrated with the ticket, contactless access through face recognition and dynamic queue management will be the basic tools for the safe use of the events of tomorrow, but also of this new one today “.

After the panel, a networking aperitif with travel agencies, tour operators, hotels and airlines, organized in collaboration with Tourmeon, Etihad Airways, Vivaticket, Grs, The First Collection, Wyndham Dubai Marina, Tryp by Wyndham, Gran Millennium Business Bay, Marketing Digital Mind and Dreamsteam, with the patronage of Enit and Dubai Tourism.
