Business is particularly in focus on the opening day of WTM London, with many destinations taking the opportunity to update the market on 2016 and to look ahead. Elena Kountoura, tourism minister for Greece, said this year was in line to become its busiest ever year with more than 27 million international arrivals expected, including cruise.
Ua haʻi ʻo Kountoura i kahi hālāwai kūkā paʻa paʻa e hoʻāʻo nei ʻo Helene e lilo i wahi huakaʻi a puni ka makahiki, me ka hoʻomaha ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale a me ka ski i ʻelua mau wahi niche e hiki ai ke hoʻokipa i nā malihini ma waho o kona wā kiʻekiʻe.

Brexit remains a common theme across the seminar program, as the UK and global travel industry awaits the actual terms of the UK withdrawal from the EU. Aviation expert John Strickland told the Forecast Forum about a possible issue arising in terms of flying rights if the UK is not part of the EU Open Skies agreement – UK airline easyJet is allowed to fly within France and Spain while Ryanair can operate in the UK with an Irish airline operators certificate as a result of the EU Open Skies agreement.
A i loko o kahi hui kaʻawale, ʻelua mau luna mokulele mokulele - ʻo Willie Walsh, ka luna nui o ka International Airlines Group a me ka pelekikena o Emirates ʻo Tim Clark - i manaʻo e hiki i nā hui mokulele ke lilo i mea o ka wā ma mua.
Walsh said: “I would question if [alliances] are around 10 years from now” with Clarke describing the oneworld, Star Alliance and Skyteam concepts as “anachronistic”.
Ma ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o Heathrow, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Walsh: "ʻAʻohe ala ma kēia ao e hiki ke hōʻoia i ka £ 17.6 biliona ma ke ʻano e hoʻohana ʻia ai."
Ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe, kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa kūikawā ma Brexit i kālele ʻia i ke kūʻokoʻa o ka neʻe ʻana o nā kānaka. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Andrew Swaffield, Luna Nui, Monarch Airlines: "Pono mākou i ka wehewehe ʻana i ka neʻe kūʻokoʻa o ka poʻe, a makemake mākou i ka wikiwiki loa."
Ua hoʻokomo ʻo Terry Williamson, Luna Nui, ʻo JacTravel iā Brexit i loko o ka pōʻaiapili: "Ua noho wau i ka ʻoihana no 30 mau makahiki - ʻo ia kahi ʻoihana kūʻokoʻa, ʻo kēlā me kēia pilikia e hoʻolei ʻia."
Ua hōʻike ʻia ke kūpaʻa o ka ʻoihana e ka mea kākau huakaʻi ʻo Doug Langsky. Ma ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻimi hōkele no Paris, Brussels a me Orlando, ua ʻike ʻo ia he ʻelua a ʻekolu mau mahina no ka hoihoi e hoʻi i nā pae ma mua o ka hanana ʻana a i kekahi mau manawa he ʻekolu pule. "Ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa nei mākou i ka weliweli… ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka bounce-back," wahi āna.
Ua manaʻo ʻo Lansky e pono nā wahi i kahi hoʻolālā pilikia ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka pilikia, a ʻo kahi hoʻolālā kūpono ʻo ka ʻike ʻana i nā mākeke kumu "ʻoi aku ka wiwo ʻole" a e hāʻawi i nā kumuwaiwai kūʻai aku i kēia mau wahi.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka papa manawa no Brexit a aia kekahi mau kumu lōʻihi e pono ai ka ʻoihana huakaʻi e noʻonoʻo.
