Travel Forward 2020: Nuvei, Koddi and Mabrian insights into COVID impact on travel

New whitepaper tracking impact of COVID-19 on travel demand will be launched at the session

Travolution will be hosting a session at next week’s Travel Forward online conference discussing how COVID-19 has impacted consumer’s travelling habits.

The session will see experts from Spanish data analytics platform Mabrian, digital marketing specialist Koddi and payments processing and technology specialist Nuvei discuss key trends.

Travel Forward, the travel technology conference and exhibition at annual London trade show World Travel Market, is taking place online this year due to restrictions on events imposed because of the pandemic.

To coincide with the Travolution session a new whitepaper will be published in partnership with Koddi, Mabrian and Hong Kong-based communications and media technology firm iFREE GROUP.

The whitepaper looks at the latest data to show the impact on travel demand during the pandemic and takes a specific look at how travel rules and restrictions have impacted consumer sentiment and flight searches for the Canary Islands.

Lee Hayhurst, Travolution executive editor, said: “With travel facing an extremely challenging winter, it’s clear the importance of sharing data and insights is never going to be greater as we look forward to 2021.

“The travel and tourism ecosystem is an incredibly complex web of interdependent parts and connections and so it is only by working together that the sector will get itself ready for the pent-up demand ongoing COVID lockdowns are storing up.”

Registrations for Travel Forward are open at the event’s website.
