If booming then we ought to participate, appreciate and pay our respect to the supporters, if otherwise then it makes it even mandatory to go and seek help from the industry drivers."

One aspect of the event is the ITB Hospitality Day, where leading international hotel experts and CEOs debate on the latest trends and challenges facing the industry. Topics to be discussed include the power of brands (whether many different brands offer travellers a better service or whether they are simply clever marketing strategies); safety in hotels (how hotels can protect their guests in the event of unexpected political unrest, crises and bombings) and future workforce issues (what the hotel industry must undertake to keep its trainees and future workforce and what incentives the industry needs to offer young graduates).
