“TR Consumer Forum delegates will gain access to exclusive consumer research from m1nd-set worth six figures in value,” said Nigel Hardy, Owner and Joint Managing Director, TRBusiness.

“This has been compiled especially to help companies cater for consumer expectations as passenger numbers continue to rebound following the pandemic. 

“Attendees can also take the opportunity to learn from an abundance of industry-leading retailers, airports, cruise lines and suppliers on stage as they present the latest consumer perspectives on a range of pertinent topics, and meet them in person during the many networking events.” 

As reported, a high-powered line-up of speakers, including Cyprus Minister of Transport, Communications & Works, Yiannis Karousos, has been revealed for the welcome speech and keynote sessions. 

This in in addition to a fantastic selection of speakers for the six additional in-depth sessions on the agenda – more details of which will be revealed soon. 

The conference presents lots of opportunities to network with industry colleagues with opening cocktails, lunches, coffee breaks, plus the networking dinner.
