Testimonials

I got to know Arival sometime last year, during the lockdown and found out that it is very inspiring for the industry players. We are a small family-run tour operator and I´ve attended some spectacular webinars events. Did not want to miss the chance of participating in Arival Insider to learn more about the industry and honestly to do some networking with colleagues from all over the world.

LG Porto Tours
I signed up because I really got a lot from the conference this past fall and plan to attend again. Since this membership offers 75% discount on the conference, I figure it pays for itself with all the extra material.

Bethany Boyd

Denali Photo Guides
I was watching all of the talks from past Arival Events on Vimeo and I couldn’t imagine meeting all of those people personally and having the opportunity to ask questions about business just like if I would ask a friend. It’s like suddenly meeting rockstars. In everyday routine, sometimes the whole meaning of what you do can disappear, but these events make everything crystal clear in your head, you see that you are not a drop in the ocean, but you are the ocean.

Friendly Tours
Arival in Berlin exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere on site was amazing. The topics for the sessions and workshops covered current challenges and solution approaches in the industry and brought up great in-depth discussions.

Franziska Wernet

Trekksoft
I’ve long admired the great work and industry-centric approach that Douglas & Bruce have utilized to educate and bring the Attractions industry together. The past year has brought unprecedented challenges for everyone, regardless of the role you play within the travel and tourism space.

Tony Goodmann

Universal Orlando Resort
Arival was definitely worth the trip from Australia, the content presented and the contacts we made were extremely important to our continued business development.

John Sharpe

Riverlife
Arival is, by a long way the most productive conference I've been to. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn and to meet hundreds of other professionals in the tours and activities sector.

Christian Watts

Magpie Travel
Arival has quickly established itself as the knowledge and debate centrifuge of the tours, activities, and attractions community. What comes out of Arival is clear, thoughtful and practical.

Wendy Morrill

WYSE Travel Confederation
If you’re in the tours and activities space, this is the conference for you! Learn from leaders in the tours and activities industry, meet with peers to have conversations at a deeper level, and have fun!
