We know first hand that 2020 has been a difficult year for our industry. We are craving that one-on-one connection, the warmth of each other’s laughter, and the creation of new partnerships, relationships, and products. For the first time ever, ATTA is offering two opportunities to save your space to attend the 2021 Summit in Hokkaido, Japan:
The Adventure Travel World Summit is where the global adventure travel industry comes together to cultivate connections, gain inspiration, and discover a decidedly adventurous destination. More than just a conference, the Summit is a global gathering of an industry that works hard and plays hard, offering cutting-edge educational sessions, highly rated keynote speakers, a Day of Adventure, and endless networking and business opportunities.
When we travel, we want to fully experience a destination – its culture and history, culinary traditions, its highest peaks to its most secret spots. The Summit gives this opportunity to our delegates to taste a bit of the destination’s nature, culture and adventures while building valuable connections with local travel industry providers.
Japan invites ATWS delegates to experience the best adventures available in and around Hokkaido on Monday, 20 September. Each Day of Adventure is free of charge for registered delegates.
Day of Adventure itineraries will be available to view in April 2021 and available to book in July 2021.
Japan has created a range of three-to seven day itineraries featuring iconic landscapes, off-the-beaten path experiences and memorable adventures throughout Japan.
Registered ATWS delegates are invited to enjoy select Pre-and/or Post-Summit Adventures at a discounted rate. Buyers need to apply to be hosted (application forthcoming). Pre-and Post-Summit Adventures are expected to be available in May 2021.
