We from M&SE had the pleasure to attend the first hybrid Tourism and Technology Forum organized by Tourism Promotion Board (TPB) held in Okada Manila last 17-18 March 2021.

TPB took the initiative to organize two-day hybrid event for the Tourism Stakeholders and learn on the recent technology and platforms innovations for the industry.

Tourism is a major economic pillar for the country and Technology has played a fundamental role during this pandemic, most of the stakeholders have adapted, prepared and/or changed its business model to be able operate and provide services during this situation.

A learning platform with dynamic sessions and panels for everyone participating at the forum. Sharing knowledge, updates and experiences from the Speakers on Sustainability trends, SMART Tourism and Cities, Technology and Innovation.

It is important to highlight that the health and wellbeing was the higher priority during the event and rigorous protocols were implemented by the organizer and staff at the venue. All onsite delegates were required to present a COVID-19 Negative Test Result upon arrival, temperature screenings, social distancing arrangements were in place, participants wear both face shields and face mask at all times, etc.

Events like this demonstrate that the Meeting and Events Industry is working towards coming back to business following the health and safety protocols.
