Over 500 global travel leaders convened in Singapore on Monday, 14th October, for the annual Web in Travel (WiT) conference.
With the theme Next Generation, this year’s event sought to explore evolving trends in the travel sector and how the industry can adapt and innovate to meet the evolving needs of travellers in today’s global landscape.
According to WIT founder Siew Hoon Yeoh: “The theme reflects the urgent need for the industry to embrace innovation and adapt to the rapidly changing travel landscape. We are confident that the discussions and insights shared at this event will help shape the future of travel.
Siew added that the event aims to help the industry grasp this fast-growing theme in travel, as well as honour this pivotal moment in travel’s history.
That said, WIT is helping current leaders grapple with how to move forward, guided by but unfettered by the past, to create an industry for the Next Generation of travellers, talent and leaders.
The event which concludes today, 16th October, was held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
A launchpad for innovative thinking
This year’s WIT served as a launchpad for discussions and discourse about new opportunities in travel tech.
The event brought together industry leaders to explore the many influences, from shifting demographics in the region to Artificial Intelligence (AI), currently shaping the travel landscape in Asia.
With this in mind, WiT Singapore 2024 provides a platform to navigate a generational leap in technology, with Gen AI leading the charge.
Indeed, the programme explored a range of critical topics, including decluttering the noise around AI, the future of travel talent, innovations in travel sustainability and even space travel.
