The global challenges and opportunities for both tourism destinations and suppliers around the world require innovation in management and operations\, calling for a major rethinking of both strategic and tactical Tourism Management. \nThe Tourism Futures Forum will provide an insight into the future dimensions of the tourism industry. It examines major trends in tourism demand and supply and explores the strategic changes that lead to the international tourism industry restructuring. The Forum will be organised by The University of Bournemouth in partnership with the World Travel Market and the TravelDailyNews are organising this forum to facilitate debate about the key strategic changes and to engage in a discussion about the successful response of the industry. The event will involve two short research-based presentations to stimulate discussion. Chairman Prof Dimitrios Buhalis will encourage all participants to contribute to the debate and discussion. \n  \nShort Presentations : © indicated confirmed \n© Christopher Rodrigues (VisitBritain) Global trends and British Tourism\nMarcio Favila (UNWTO) Global Tourism trends and developments\n© Professor Dimitrios Buhalis (Bournemouth University): Smartness and smart tourism \nInvited Panelists:  © indicated confirmed \nAlexandros Angelopoulos\, Aldemar\, Greece\nEarlston McPHEE Bahamas\, Bahamas\nAndreas Andreadis\,\, Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises\, Greece\nHelena Egan\, Tripadvisor\nSofia Panayiotaki PRMediaCo\nUfi Ibrahim\, British Hospitality Association\nClaire Steiner\, The Institute of Travel and Tourism\nXu Jing\, UNWTO \n\n  \nTourism Routes and the Holy Grail \n 16:30-18.00 \n Chaired by Professor Dimitrios Buhalis \nTourist routes have been established as a successful method of linking places and developing tourism. The Holy Grail EU-sponsored research project aims to establish a route as a way of developing and improving regional tourism throughout Europe based on Spirituality\, Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage. Central to this is the creation of a new tourism product and associated opportunities for tourism businesses\, but also increasing the attractiveness and awareness of different regions\, which spans six different countries. In Christian tradition\, the Holy Grail was the cup Jesus used at the Last Supper. This was subsequently used to collect Jesus’ blood during his crucifixion. It was said to have the power to heal all wounds. \nThe research has shown the different traditions linking the Grail to sites in the UK – from biblical references\, association with the Knights Templar and Arthurian legend to more modern popular cultural references including Monty Python and the Da Vinci Code. The project will not only lead to a boost for local economies\, but will also serve to unite different European cultures and the tourism industry behind the Grail tradition. \nSpeakers: \nProfessor Dimitrios Buhalis (Bournemouth University): Routes and Tourism\nAlla Peressolova (UNWTO Silk Road Programme Manager): Routes and tourism development – the Silk Road\nProfessor Paul Fidgeon (University of West London) :The Holy Grail as a unifying narrative for European Tourism\nOpen focus group discussion on the Holly Route and tourism development
