Information

From inflation and labor costs to shifting traveler behavior and tech disruption, 2025 is shaping up to be a year of tough decisions and tighter margins. In this open-format town hall, experience operators from across the industry — and around the world — come together to talk candidly about what it really takes to run and grow a tour, activity, or attraction business in today’s uncertain environment.

Whether you're navigating slower demand, debating your OTA strategy, weighing marketing spend, or wondering how to invest in tech without overextending, this session is your space to share, ask, and learn from those in the trenches.

This is not a panel. It’s a conversation. Come ready to engage, ask questions, and gain practical ideas you can take home and apply immediately.

You’ll learn:

• How fellow operators are responding to market uncertainty and cost pressures
• Smart ways to manage risk while investing in growth
• Real-world insights on pricing, staffing, and spending decisions in 2025
• What’s working — and what’s not — in operations, marketing, and technology
• How to stay resilient, focused, and future-ready in a volatile economy

Who Should Attend:

• Owners and operators of tours, activities, and attractions navigating economic headwinds
• General managers and operations leaders looking for practical solutions to day-to-day challenges
• Entrepreneurs and founders building or scaling their business in uncertain times
• Marketing and revenue leaders evaluating strategy in a tighter, more competitive market
• Anyone seeking honest, operator-to-operator insight in a no-pitch, no-fluff environment
