‘Managing Tourism’s Future Business’, organised in association with the UNWTO, brought together a panel of respected experts in a discussion forum, chaired by Geoffrey Lipman FTS.
Welcome to The World of Opportunity This year’s ‘Future You’ event, which took place on November 10th at World Travel Market, once again provided a perfect opportunity for students of travel and tourism to hear inspiring stories about securing their top job in the industry.

Capital Allowances: NEW Legislation Seminar
1st December 6-9pm, London
If you own property and have not yet claimed your capital allowance entitlement, time may be running out. Capital allowances can be worth as much as 10% of the purchase price of the building, but legislation due out next year will vastly reduce the time within which a claim must be made. Once the legislation comes in to force, thousands of businesses will lose the ability to make a claim forever. This event is aimed at owners of commercial property, whether they are pub, hotels or offices, costing more than £250,000. BOOK NOW
