Colombo, Aug 13 (newsin.asia) – The Future of Tourism Summit will be held in Sri Lanka on Sept 26, on the theme of Innovation, Technology and Authenticity.
This year’s summit will feature a host of leaders in the international travel and tourism sphere.
Sebastian Rassmann and Rene Massatti will be in Colombo sharing their insights at the Summit that will be held at the Cinnamon Grand Colombo.
This year’s conference will have a special feature, Future Space, an interactive installation
available at the summit offering the attendees the opportunity to physically try out modern,
innovative and cutting edge technology with pre-built systems which can be directly
implemented to existing systems.
“We are convinced that small changes foreshadow big ones. We have deployed around 80
trend scouts in 22 language regions. They alert us with new trend signals every day. The
most promising trends are then filtered out and the marketable innovation which matches the
specific trend is then launched in the region. Trendsetting influences are necessary in order to
be able to develop ground-breaking product ideas and new business models. Reliable
knowledge of upcoming technologies gives the innovation a competitive advantage. If you
already know today what is going to be important tomorrow, you will have a valuable
advantage for your innovation process,” explained Nils Muller.
