STELLAR LINE UP FOR ULTRATRAVEL FORUM 2014



SPEAKERS FROM 3 CONTINENTS ATTEND PRESIDENTS’ PANEL

LUXURY TRAVEL IN THE SPOTLIGHT


This year’s Ultratravel Forum, taking place on Monday 19 May at The Dorchester in London, has announced the first line up of speakers for its Presidents’ Panel.

Participants confirmed so far for the Presidents’ Panel will come from Australia, USA, Dubai and Switzerland and include Larry Pimentel - President and CEO of Azamara Club Cruises; John Scott - President & CEO of Belmond; Phil Asker - Founder of private jet tour operator, Captain's Choice; Gerald Lawless - President & Group CEO of Jumeirah; and Christopher Norton - President EMEA of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.

The Panel will be preceded by a Keynote from one of today's foremost trend forecasters and keynote speakers, James Wallman.  Wallman recently hit the headlines globally with his book Stuffocation, which identifies the key cultural shift in the 21st century from materialism to experientialism. He will explain the significant relevance of this to today's luxury travel industry.

Later in the day, a panel of senior airline executives - moderated by The Economist's Executive Editor, Daniel Franklin - will discuss the future of premium air travel and, in the final session, we will hear from some well known and well-travelled consumers on what they look for in their luxury travel experiences.

To register attendance at the Ultratravel Forum and The ULTRAs Dinner, at which the 2014 awards will be presented as voted by the readers of the UK edition of Ultratravel, go to www.ultratravelforum.com.
