Elman Wall COVID-19 Update Webinar. New Year: Travel Restart in 2021
Happy New Year to all our clients, readers and industry friends and colleagues.
A New Year usually means new beginnings but 2021 seems to have started as a continuation of 2020: we’re still in a pandemic, Brexit has happened and we’re still flinching every time we open our feeds to read the news.
On the positive side, we have decided on a continuation of our own and that was to keep hosting our regular Elman Wall COVID-19 Update Zoominars. We’ve hit the ground running last Thursday with the first Elman Wall COVID-19 Update Zoominar of 2021 and we were jubilant to see so many people joining us and have 18 amazing speakers during the session.
It was an absolute pleasure to virtually see (and hear) everyone. We feel extremely blessed to be able to build a community and a forum of passionate travel industry people, who continuously share their expertise with their industry peers.
