TRAVELNEXT will make a great comeback in 2024 with a completely revamped website, new bloggers and on October 8, 2024 its own ‘What’s NEXT in Travel Event’ at TravDay, in which the focus is on the most crucial developments in the travel industry, specifically in the field of sustainability, technology, marketing, e-commerce and HR. But where do we go from here? Community Managers Dylan Cinjee and Arjen Lutgendorff answer and talk about the plans. What is TRAVELNEXT? Dylan: “TRAVELNEXT is a knowledge platform for the entire travel industry, with a focus on the latest updates and developments within the (online) travel market. The new generation, including young entrepreneurs, startups, e-commerce companies and the traditional players are brought together on the knowledge platform, where you will find more information and the latest news about e-commerce, social media, technology, AI, sustainability and much more.” Who is TRAVELNEXT for? Arjen: “If you are interested in the very latest developments and ideas from fellow travel pressionals in travel, then TRAVELNEXT is definitely a platform to keep an eye on. TRAVELNEXT is interesting for a very broad group of travel professionals, from managers in the field of e-commerce, online marketing, travel retail and HR to (final-year) students who are about to enter the professional field.” How can you be followed? Dylan: “In recent weeks, we have been working the realization of a new website. In addition, we share news and information via the digital newsletter, social media and we have plans for our own events.” Why would anyone want to blog on TRAVELNEXT? Arjen: “It offers a unique opportunity to write for a targeted and engaged audience within the travel industry. As a blogger on our platform, you can share your expertise and insights with a wide audience of professionals, including marketers, managers, and other travel experts. This not only strengthens your personal exposure, but also provides an opportunity to network and create collaboration opportunities. In addition, it contributes to the ongoing dialogue about important trends and developments in the travel industry, allowing you to actively participate in shaping the future of this industry.” Can you tell us more about your own event? Dylan: “The ‘What’s NEXT in Travel Event’ will be an annual event on TravDay, focusing on the most crucial developments in the travel industry, specifically in the areas of sustainability, technology, marketing, e-commerce and HR. During the event, experts will share their insights on what developments are currently defining the industry and how travel professionals can effectively respond to these innovations. It offers an educational and interactive experience, where visitors can gain knowledge through plenary sessions, break-out sessions and interesting exhibitors at the fair. This provides an excellent opportunity to learn from experts and peers in the field.” Arjen: “The event is also an excellent networking opportunity. Visitors can network during the networking lunch and the closing drinks, which makes it a perfect opportunity to make and maintain contacts with professionals in the travel industry. The attendee profile of this event is diverse and includes CEOs, creators, online marketers, marketing and sales managers, alumni, and general managers. This allows for a rich mix of experiences and perspectives, which makes the event particularly valuable for anyone active in the travel industry.” Can you become a partner of TRAVELNEXT?
