Arival – the global research authority for in-destination experiences – has released the program and speaker roster for its annual Arival 360 Conference 2024, taking place in Berlin, Germany, from March 2 to March 4.

Hot topics at this year’s event will include sustainability and how to address challenges resulting from the impacts of climate change, and how the culinary sector continues to offer special opportunities for experience companies. This year’s event will also see Arival’s popular Attractions Forum brought to Europe for the first time.  The forum will help attractions businesses tackle issues like technology, over-tourism and how to develop successful guest experiences for visitor attractions, large operators and cultural institutions.

Douglas Quinby, CEO and co-founder of Arival said: “In the experiences industry, only one thing is constant – change. Advances in AI, the momentous traveler demand in Europe, and the growing impact of climate change – it’s clear that experiences businesses are facing more challenges than ever before.

“Our 360 event sessions will focus on how experiences businesses can turn these challenges into lucrative opportunities today. We want to give companies practical ideas and tools to help them capture the attention of ever-evolving travelers, who are increasingly seeking out authentic trips centered around once-in-a-lifetime experiences.”

Hundreds of representatives from companies across the tours, activities, attractions and experiences sectors are expected to attend the 2024 Arival 360 Conference.
