ITT CONFERENCE PREVIEW
ITT to assess
election result
Michelle Perrett
The impact of a new government
on the travel industry will
be high on the agenda at the
Institute of Travel and Tourism
(ITT) 2010 Conference.
Peter Riddell, political
commentator at The Times,
will give delegates his view on
the newly-elected government
and provide his insight into
the potential impact on the
travel industry.
The conference will take
place on June 7-9 in Benidorm,
just a month after the widelymooted
election date of May 6.
Riddell has been a leading
political commentator and
an assistant editor at The
Times since 1991. He writes
about British politics and has
published several books on
the subject including two
about Margaret Thatcher.
The conference moderator
will be Tim Hames, current
special adviser to the speaker
of the House of Commons and
a former Times columnist.
ITT chairman Steven
Freudmann (pictured) said:
“The election will still be fresh
in our minds and the new
government of whatever
persuasion will be in place.
Riddell will tell us what we are
in for over the coming months.”
Riddell joins a list of
prestigious speakers lined up
for the event, including Thomas
Cook chief executive Manny
Fontenla-Novoa, and Digby
Steven
Freudmann:
“The general
election will
be fresh in
our minds”
Jones, former director-general
of the CBI. Other speakers
include Bob Stewart, the 2008
business speaker of the year
and a former United Nations
commander who will talk
about leadership and motivation,
and TV comedian and
executive coach Ruby Wax.
Freudmann added: “We
recognised that Dubai last
year was a relatively expensive
destination and that in the
present economic climate it
was reasonable we chose a
destination that is accessible,
cost-effective and important
to members.”
