The Future of Wine Tourism Webinar 19-21 May 2020

Destinate will host The Future of Wine Tourism webinar from 19 – 21 May 2020. The webinar is designed as an interactive virtual event bringing together international and local experts, industry representatives, the UNWTO, South African Tourism, Wesgro and Vinpro to explore and reimagine wine tourism in a post lockdown world where our freedom of movement and human interaction will fundamentally change.

The global wine and tourism industries have been hard hit by the pandemic, subsequent lockdown and the prohibition of alcohol sales in South Africa during lockdown. Great uncertainty, job losses and possible business closures are the order of the day as we try to navigate our way through this time.

We do know that we will travel again and that wine sales will commence within the next few weeks, but what will the future of wine tourism look like and how do we prepare ourselves for a new era in wine tourism and travel? 

The webinar will be hosted over three days with six interactive themed sessions to allow for flexibility and 27 panellists from around the globe. 

You can register for a specific session by clicking on the relevant session or you can attend all the sessions. 

If you would like to register for all 6 sessions, at our special offer of R550 ($30), send an email to annareth@destinate.co.za.

Registration closes on 18 May 2020 at 12:00pm.

A Post-Lockdown Wine Tourism Paper will be made available after the webinar with insights and guidelines shared during the webinar to assist the industry.
