TTI has lined-up a group of industry heavyweights who will give their opinions on where the travel industry is heading in the next few years.

Mick Mott, General Manager of TTI, stated, “There are uncertain times ahead and more so, now, than in other time recently, travel companies need guidance on how the industry is going to move forward in the face of an impending recession.
