WHAT’S NEXT: FAR DESTINATIONS AND BEYOND!
Five thematic stages will host influential leaders from the global tourism and travel industry, exploring new trends and ideas. Topics such as “What’s Next: Global Events and Experiences,” “Are Airlines the New Holiday Program Operators?”, “AI-Powered Travel with ChatGPT,” “Is the Employment Crisis Driving Operators Towards AI?”, and “Managing Reputation in the Digital Age: The Impact of Online Reviews on Tourism Businesses” will be discussed across 60 sessions featuring over 200 speakers, offering new perspectives to attendees. Uzakrota Founder Gökhan Erdoğan noted that Uzakrota Global 24 will be like a search conference, rewriting the codes of the travel industry. He stated, “The heart of the global tourism and travel sector will beat in Istanbul once again. We will host the world’s most important travel technology companies and the strongest operators of regional markets at Uzakrota Global 24. There are global big brands that have not yet entered the Turkish market and will introduce themselves in our country for the first time through Uzakrota. As digital tourism rapidly grows, AI will be a focal point of this year’s Uzakrota Global, and we will discuss the future of the tourism and travel industry.”
