- We live in a period of high uncertainty, in which the main challenge for managers is decision-making. At Con-X we will talk about this, but could you tell us about your own case? How do you deal with decision-making in your company?
- Uncertainty could be a challenge in our industry, but I consider something very important in this type of situations, FOCUS. Keeping right view of 2 main things: the goals - in order to be organized and avoid distraction - and values - to maximize with them results, no matter the uncertain situation.
- What do you see as the main trends in tourism distribution today?
- In my opinion, there are many, but some could be the adaptation of the new demands from travellers, from new destinations to more last-minute demand. Which we try to lecture from our data and adapt accordingly. Consolidation, from many angles is a trend in many aspects, technology, product, etc. and I think we are doing it well in Go Global
- What are your perspectives for this year? Where do you want to go?
- We had a great year in 2022, and I think we want to continue with our growth. Our partnership with XTG is a great example, we doubled our figures in 2022 vs 2019, and we are doing the same this year vs 2022, so this is the path to follow.
- Why should CON-X participants talk to you, what can you offer them?
- Some of them are partners, so I would like to express my gratitude to our relationship, and those who are not (yet) because I believe we have the product and the service they are looking for.
