New Waves, New World

The tourism industry in 2025 demands more insightful perspectives than ever before. While discussions on geopolitics, economic conditions, and consumer confidence abound, these macro factors are often beyond immediate control.

And what niche markets still hold untapped opportunities for steady growth? These subtle but powerful currents herald the arrival of a new world. We aim to join you in an exploration of these trends, diving deep to uncover what the future truly holds.

“I first encountered TravelDaily in 2004 while researching for a paper. In 2016, I was honored to receive an annual award on stage. This year, I’m involved in the review process and supporting some of TravelDaily’s initiatives. As one of the few non-governmental, non-commercial award events in China, The TravelDaily Conference stands out for its fairness, openness, and lively debate. It brings together tourism professionals from across the globe. We’ve grown with TravelDaily and witnessed its remarkable journey. Wishing it continued brilliance and success!”
——— Jason King, Vice President, New Century Tourism Group
“I’ve attended Travel Daily Conference many times over the years, and they consistently reflect the founder’s dedication to independent thinking and innovation. The topics are always fresh, and the content thought-provoking. As a platform for industry exchange, it brings together professionals to explore emerging trends and business models in the global hotel and tourism sector—and discover new opportunities. The team’s effort truly shows.”

“In past years, I primarily attended the first day of the TravelDaily Conference for customer acquisition and brand promotion, and it proved highly effective. This year, in my new role overseeing travel management and procurement, I focused on the corporate travel sessions. Topics like digital invoicing and enhancing employee travel experiences—key pain points for us—were particularly relevant. I even invited our China office’s admin head to attend and learn together. We also hoped to meet peers for future collaboration. This event has tremendous value—many thanks to the organizers!”

———— Head of Asia Travel, A Major Enterprise
“Another outstanding industry gathering—insightful content, up-to-date industry news, and diverse perspectives. The corporate travel sessions especially stood out. It felt like finding a ‘home’ for travel managers, as we openly discussed shared challenges. The session on digital invoicing, for instance, offered practical tips and real experiences from guest speakers—exactly what we need. I look forward to TravelDaily continuing to empower our sector, helping establish industry standards and solve long-standing issues.”

——— Jiangyun Ning, Passenger Service Manager, Lanyou Mobility
