The future of tours, activities, and attractions is coming quickly.

The Next 10: Key Forces Shaping Our Future
Erik Blachford, Travel Industry Investor, Advisor & Former CEO, Expedia and Butterfield and Robinson

From AI and climate change to shifting demographics and geopolitical realignment, powerful forces are reshaping how people live, work—and travel. In this opening session, travel industry veteran and investor Erik Blachford explores the megatrends that will define the next decade. What do they mean for tours, activities, and attractions? This essential conversation will help industry leaders make sense of the changes ahead—and prepare for what’s next in travel experiences.

This strategic follow-up to our opening sessions will have leading investors and visionaries in travel, technology and consumer trends to unpack how they interpret these global shifts. They’ll discuss where they’re placing their long-term bets and why, and how leaders in tours, activities, and attractions should be thinking and planning for what’s ahead. This session will help you connect the dots between big forces and big decisions that will define the future of our sector, and set the stage for our Peer Group Discussion breakouts.

Peer Group Discussions – Round One
Facilitated by Stone Mantel, The Experience Strategy Group

Connecting Minds, Solving Challenges
Peer Group Discussions are where connections happen, ideas spark, and challenges are tackled head-on. These intimate, candid sessions bring together 15-20 participants to dive deep into the topics that matter most to you.

The discussions are open, dynamic, and tailored to your interests—no pre-planned agenda, just meaningful dialogue and collaboration.

You’ll participate in two focused sessions—one in the morning and another in the afternoon—leaving you with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and ideas you can take back to your business.

Come ready to contribute, collaborate, and walk away with the tools to drive innovation and success in the destination experiences industry.

Leaders from across the travel experiences sector— top operators, OTAs, and investors—will share their key takeaways and how they’re thinking differently about what comes next. But this isn’t just a panel—it’s an open forum. We’ll turn to you, the executives in the room, to reflect, respond, and engage in a candid town hall discussion: What should we do with what we’ve heard? How do we lead change—within our companies, and across our industry? It’s not about predicting the future. It’s about deciding how we create it.

Welcome to Arival!​

Arival is pleased to welcome all of its international attendees to the USA and would like to make the process as seamless as possible.

If you are traveling to the United States for tourism or business for 90 days or less, you may be eligible to visit the US without a visa if your country is participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP)

Visitor Visa​
Overview

Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for a temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Visitor visas are nonimmigrant visas for persons who want to enter the United States temporarily for business (visa category B-1), for tourism (visa category B-2), or for a combination of both purposes (B-1/B-2).

Here are some examples of activities permitted with a visitor visa:

How to Apply

There are several steps to apply for a visa. The order of these steps and how you complete them may vary by U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Please consult the instructions on the U.S. Embassy or Consulate website.

Complete the Online Visa Application

  • Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application, Form DS-160 – Learn more about completing the DS-160. You must: 1) complete the online visa application and 2) print the application form confirmation page to bring to your interview.
  • Photo – You will upload your photo while completing the online Form DS-160. Your photo must be in the format explained in the Photograph Requirements.

Schedule an Interview

Interviews are generally required for visa applicants with certain limited exceptions below. Consular officers may require an interview of any visa applicant.

If you are age: Then an interview is:
13 and younger Generally not required
14-79 Required (some exceptions for renewals)
80 and older Generally not required

You should schedule an appointment for your visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where you live. You may schedule your interview at another U.S. Embassy or Consulate, but be aware that it may be more difficult to qualify for a visa outside of the country where you live.

Visa Appointment Wait Times

Wait times for interview appointments vary by location, season, and visa category, so you should apply for your visa early. Click the button below for more information on wait times, required documentation, interview tips, extending your stay and more.

FORCE MAJEURE
