If there’s one job harder than being a clairvoyant at a sceptic’s convention it’s being a futurist in these mightily uncertain times. 

It’s hard to read an article these days that doesn’t warn us that bots will wipe out entire industries or that the global economy is about to implode. But is there nuance and cause for optimism? 

CWT's Julian Walker talks to Shawn DuBravac, NY Times bestselling author, futurist, economist and analyst for the  GBTA CWT Global Business Travel Forecast  about the near-term cost of airfares and hotel rates, and how companies and organizations of all sizes can prepare their budgets, and people, for the societal and technological shifts ahead. 

Find out: 

  • Whether travel and event pricing predictions for 2023 are proving accurate halfway through the year. 
  • The challenges that hotels and airlines face today. 
  • The big issue on everyone’s lips and how it will change the way we work and travel: Artificial Intelligence.
