      In an ever-changing scene, the tourism offer must adapt to a new reality, introducing differential products and new services, and taking advantage of business opportunities in a race to position itself in the market.

      The emergence of new audiences with their own demands, an increased democratisation of tourism, the diversification of sales channels and the growing need to build customer loyalty all have an important impact on large chains. The latter are forced to consider new management models, conceptualise new brands to respond in real time to market trends, and to strive towards internationalisation.
    • 3:30 pm
