2017 brought changes to different segments, destinations and markets within cultural exchange and 2018 will surely bring more. Could the industry have been better prepared for surprises like the shut down of US embassies in Turkey or changes to working holiday visa regulations in Australia? Join your industry peers to learn how they dealt with some of the challenges of 2017 and how their learnings have informed their 2018 strategies. Panellists will also discuss current issues, such as how operational standards will be affected by the EU’s new data protection policies and how providers are altering their strategies and practices amidst a challenging political climate.
