Flanders, Belgium Presentation

Let’s turn the tide - in recent months the entire industry in Flanders has shown incredible resilience and creativity. Innovative initiatives were devel­oped and in many cases, strong lasting partnerships were forged. The headwind of the past months has thus become a source of hope for the future. A future that we – as VisitFLANDERS CB -  build together with associations, PCOs and convention bureaus.

Let’s turn the tide - in recent months the entire industry in Flanders has shown incredible resilience and creativity. Innovative initiatives were devel­oped and in many cases, strong lasting partnerships were forged. The headwind of the past months has thus become a source of hope for the future. A future that we – as VisitFLANDERS CB -  build together with associations, PCOs and convention bureaus.

Or as we like to say in Flanders: together we will create tomor­row’s heritage.

Hear from us on why our sector will survive the crisis, how a government can help, why innovation is the most successful vaccine, which trends will dominate the sector in the future and why physical conferences will continue to be important.
