TESTIMONIALS
HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ARIVAL EVENTS
“Great and very inspiring two days at Arival Berlin for Best of Switzerland Tours AG!
The 5th anniversary proved once more that this conference is the #placetobe for #toursandactivities operators, technology providers, OTAs and many more industry professionals to meet and learn how together we can serve our guests better and make life time experience to remember!
Huge thank you to Douglas Quinby and his team for bringing us together and looking very much forward seeing you next year in Valencia!”
Christian Landis
General Manager at Best of Switzerland Tours
“Well, that was my first Arival – here’s a first timers thoughts on the event:
You either need to figure out how to clone yourself or bring a colleague. There are a lot of interesting topics being discussed simultaneously, this Is not just about sales for sales managers. Marketing managers, connectivity managers and CEOs are in the room, bring yours!
Leave the tie at home, this is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere – which is the right environment for discussion.
AI – absolutely a game changer… But I’ve yet to see it applied in a game changing way.
There’s a lot of experts in the room – some of the best discussions are happening outside of the designated sessions, seek them out.
I will be going to Arival again!!”

Head of Sales, Evan Evans Tours and Non Executive Director, UKInbound
“I’m incredibly grateful to have been in the same room as some as the most innovative, influential and knowledgable people within our industry this weekend. It’s completely different to anything I’ve experienced before. Huge thanks to all the key note speakers, panel session participants and Arival for putting on such a unique event.”
