The US/Israel-Iran war has delivered a sharp shock to global travel, forcing airspace closures, driving fuel costs higher and accelerating rapid shifts in traveller behaviour. While the disruption is significant, Middle Eastern travel hubs are uniquely positioned to respond—supported by worldclass infrastructure, operational agility and proven crisis response capabilities.
 
In this audio version of our webinar, you’ll unpack the operational, economic and demand-side forces reshaping the region’s travel landscape and the strategies that will support recovery. 
 
Key insights you'll gain: 

• The immediate scale of disruption and what it means for costs, capacity and planning 
• How consumer behaviour is shifting towards intraregional travel and resilient segments 
• Practical strategies travel operators are using to accelerate recovery 
• How data, analytics and digital communication are turning crisis response into competitive advantage 
• Why the long-term outlook for travel in the Middle East remains strong despite short-term uncertainty 

Listen in for comprehensive insights into how the Middle East travel industry is responding to its most severe disruption since the pandemic—and how leading players are adapting to recover faster and stronger.
