Hence, in today's world, people and businesses in the tourism industry can connect, exchange information and perform transactions in ways never before imagined.
The Beyond Expectation will explore these infinite potentials and opportunities this new tourism industry has to offer. Within the context, the conference will serve as a platform to explore new possibilities and potentials it holds within the discovery of new frontiers in the tourism sector.
