Managing travel flows –Where’s the problem?
Overcrowding in popular destinations, congestion at the peak of tourist seasons and the protests of local people have been the issue recently. Are these problems rooted in poor urban planning, industry greed or a lack of joint planning between the decision makers and local residents?
This seminar will discuss the current situation in different travel destinations and what should be done to either solve the problems or prevent them from arising in the first place.
The panel will be moderated by Frank Oostdam, President, European Travel Agents' and Tour Operators' Association ECTAA
Panelists Jukka Punamäki, Senior Advisor, Tourism and destination management unit, City of Helsinki Vedran Sušić, Director, Croatian National Tourist Board Julio Jiménez, Counselor for Tourism Affairs, Embassy of Spain to Finland, Managing Director, Spanish Tourist Office in Helsinki
