EVENTS Hotel & Tourism SMARTreport #42 2019 Spring Edition 13 13 QYER AND ITB CHINA TO HOST IT’S MY WORLD TRAVEL AWARD AND EXCLUSIVE PAVILION FOR KOLS AT ITB CHINA 2019 China’s biggest outbound travel service platform, Qyer, and ITB China have announced the renewal of their strategic partnership. For the first time ITB China will be fully devoting a travel experience hub for China’s travel KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) to be hosted by Qyer. David Axiotis, General Manager ITB China, believes that KOLs have a strong influence on Chinese tourists. “Less young Chinese continue to travel with a group and more will travel independently. So, KOLs might provide the perfect inspiration for their next independent travel trip, plus provide inspiration and help travelers discover new destinations on social platforms such as WeChat or Weibo”, said Axiotis AN EYE TO THE FUTURE OF SINO-WESTERN TOURISM RELATIONS ITB China Conference 2019 to examine farreaching trends in the Chinese travel industry Decision-makers and influencers from the Chinese and international travel industries will impart their knowledge at the third ITB China Conference 2019, set to take place from 15 to 17 May at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Conference Centre.

The more neurons there are and the greater the connectivity we have between the neurons, the better developed the brain will be. This is how the travel industry is building up neuron-like connectivity. I am proud to be in the travel industry, which enables people to move around, facilitates the communication of information and cultures, stimulates innovation in the society, and leads mankind to constant David Axiotis Director and General Manager, ITB China progress and exploration.
