We are currently seeking a Destination Specialist for Asia. This individual will be responsible for designing, planning, and booking customized travel experiences for our clients that are tailored to their unique tastes, preferences, and interests.

TP CONNECT is Tourpreneur's annual conference built entirely for tour operators.

This year - nobody is talking AT YOU from a stage. The whole event is two days of round table conversation at The Historic Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, November 17 to 18, 2026, with a welcome party the evening of the 16th. Each table has an important business topic and someone leading it who knows it deeply: an expert, a coach, or a fellow operator who has been through it. You sit down at the table working through the thing you're wrestling with right now. When the round ends, you pick your next table.

The topics come from the problems operators are always bringing us: prices you haven't raised in three years, the OTA cut you want to shrink, what to actually do with AI, finding and keeping good guides. Every table is built so you walk away with a defined strategy, a decision finally made, or a next step you can act on Monday morning.

Tickets: $249 USD. Built for both day tour and multi-day operators.

Be inspired by global changemakers who are pushing the boundaries of Responsible Tourism.

Join us on 25 August between 12 to 1pm UK time and:

- Be inspired by the winners of the 2026 Responsible Tourism Award winners worldwide
- Hear about our Scholarship programme in partnership with ITB Berlin. Ten applicants will be going on to study one of our Professional Certificates in Responsible Tourism, Rebalancing Tourism or Creating Economic Impact
- Learn how you can enter our 2027 Responsible Tourism Awards. (It's free too!)

Transformation is an industry-wide challenge, but it's hard to establish a clear view of where we stand today. Only data can give us a better understanding of how airline distribution is changing.

That's why we're expanding T2RL's annual Airline Distribution Survey - to make the industry's most comprehensive distribution benchmark even stronger.

If you work for an airline in Distribution, Sales, eCommerce, Retailing, Offer & Order, Merchandising, or a related role, we'd really appreciate your input.

As a thank you, you'll receive a complimentary copy of the T2RL Market for Distribution Report 2026 when it's published.

🔗 Take the survey: tmsv.co/t2rl_airline_distribution_survey

The survey only takes six minutes to complete and closes on 31 July 2026.

Thank you in advance for helping us build a better benchmark for the industry.
