In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I have to watch it for my lesson in 2024, after a decade that it was posted

[joyceraon]

2020 and I'm here for my final requirement for online classes and maybe this is the future of tourism😂

[olivierhutter]

when I was watching this and the google glasses came up I was like "wait a minute, how old is this ?"

[MarkBH]

Charming British antics. Some good points. Supersonic. Cheaper products. Older people. More technological.

[_CryX]

this guy took FOREVER to get to the dang point, i had no clue where we were going with that lmao

[michaelwilliams]

I thought this was excellent.  If you were patient and listened there were pearls. the whole "I messed up the files" gag was intentional.  Excellent presentation and the most relevant link on YT google when the search query is "the future of tourism"

[NatalieBurgan]

@13:01 did he just say fophisticated instead of sophisticated ?

[MarceloRojasDecut]

Impressive talk !!! No doubt tourism is a sector to bet on it

[DonMikimax]

Well, i learned nothing from this presentation. 

[lezliebell]

Did not know the convention center had an info kiosk. Wine info, maps, travel guide and more. Nice!

[andricksalinastapia]

Tourism is undoubtedly one of the most important jobs globally, unfortunately the disease began to affect us

[araceliswright]

Tourism, the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial.

[michaelkot]

that was just low quality, too low even for tedx

[pixelmartyr]

Obviously this was produced before the pandemic

Please contribute to the Wikipedia article on sustainable tourism and make sure it highlights the awful air pollution caused by aviation emissions. We need packages that don't involve long (or any) air travel. When I was a child we travelled on holidays locally and had wonderful holidays meeting other people and enjoying nature. Why do people have to travel overseas (with plane travel) as a badge of honour and thus pollute the air and the environment, and harm human health?

excellent insights! if you're struggling with keeping your TOURISM BUSINESS afloat during the crisis, check out the interview I've just released - on strategies for travel entrepreneurs in covid times
