In times of political crises and growing uncertainty, resilience is shaped as much by perception and trust as by infrastructure or crisis management. Barry Rogers explores how political events, shifting public sentiment and fast-moving media narratives influence travel decisions often more powerfully than the realities on the ground.
The session shows why traditional crisis response is no longer enough, and how destinations can build resilience through stronger reputation management, clearer communication and adaptive narrative strategies. Participants will gain practical perspectives on how to monitor sentiment, anticipate reputational risks and maintain traveller confidence before, during and after political disruption. #Destinations #Future #Resilience #Transformation #Guest Experience
