2025 Testimonials

Heerum, as expected, hosted an outstanding panel discussion bringing together some of the most influential voices in the travel industry. The conversation was packed with unfiltered insights into the current state of the sector, and it was refreshing to hear directly from buyers about what they truly expect from brands today. Opportunities like this, where you can engage face-to-face with decision-makers, are rare and truly invaluable.

The session was a fantastic opportunity not only for those looking to break into the travel catering market but also for those of us already working with travel operators. The discussion was packed with valuable insights and practical information that catered to a wide range of participants.
