MEET DAVID
Hello. I am David Peacock, Senior Advisor to Future Tourism Group at Simpleview. I am excited to share with you a series of interviews with industry leaders, luminaries and visionaries in candid conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing travel and tourism today and in the future.
Over the past year, Simpleview has been working with a group of beta partners around the world to develop and test a program designed to measure the holistic digital footprint of a destination, across all stakeholders, and to develop automated tools for destination digital reputation management.
We had targeted May to launch this podcast in order to give you a look behind the development curtain on that project and to deliver some of the insights from the beta executions in Michigan, Ontario and Alberta, but...
… with the advent of the COVID-19 and its impacts on all people, the global economy and tourism, now, more than ever, it is the time for our industry to band together and face the challenges of the present in order to chart a more positive and productive future.
We have asked a series of chief executives and leaders in the industry to weigh in on the challenges we face right now and to share their thoughts on what the future holds.
