Upon Arrival | Events & Incentives with Adelaine Ng
Upon Arrival is for people creating unforgettable travel and event experiences for corporate clients. This community thrives on inspiration, ideas and strategies which are needed now more than ever through challenging times. The drivers for incentive travel are still strong and it’s just a matter of finding where the success stories are. Upon Arrival aims to uncover these stories to see how the strategists amongst us are learning new ways of doing things and even discovering new destinations and experiences that might not otherwise have been considered. We talk about mindset, personal development, pivot ideas and of course, what's happening with the travel and events industry.

Ep91 High airfare prices and when luxury travel makes more sense, with David Beirman
Predictions for the skyrocketing cost of travel post-pandemic have come true. Plus, we're also paying in flight chaos, delays and luggage delivery frustrations. How long will this last and how will looming economic challenges impact travel? What impact will the reopening of China's borders have on the travel industry?
David Beirman is a tourism crisis and recovery expert, a fellow at University Technology Sydney and author of Tourism Crisis and Destination Recovery. His views have been highly sought after by both local and international media.
Quotes from this episode:
"Travel (has) stopped being an automatic right."
"(Destinations need to) create a value proposition instead of trying to say come to us because we're cheap."
"You're only as good as your last forecast."
