Igniting the Future of Travel

Travel Innovation Night 2025

What is the Travel Innovation Night?

The Travel Innovation Night is not just an event – it’s a movement to revolutionize the tourism industry. This annual gathering brings together visionary thinkers, innovative startups, top-tier companies, destinations, students, and thought leaders to ignite ideas that propel the tourism industry to new heights.

Hosted in collaboration with destinations, embassies, governments, DMOs, brands, and universities, the Travel Innovation Night is a platform where ideas meet action and where the future of tourism is shaped by those bold enough to think beyond the ordinary.

Why is it Different?

Unlike any other industry event, the Travel Innovation Night is focused entirely on fostering collaboration and creativity in tourism. This is not just another networking evening – it’s a launchpad for innovation.

Foundations of Excellence - AI and the Future of Guest Feedback Management

Imagine being asked to bake a chocolate cake with only flour, sugar, and eggs. Without the key ingredients and a recipe, even the best baker would struggle to produce a delicious result. The same principle applies to understanding your guests: without the right data, your insights will fall short. A Keynote by Précilia Cerqueira, from Customer Alliance. Presented at the Tourism Innovation Nights 2024 hosted by Skål International Berlin, the capital’s gateway to Skål International, the world’s leading and biggest network for Tourism Professionals.

From AI Hype to true Innovation - Tourism Innovation Night 2024

AI tools are amazing for some tasks, and worse than useless for others. How can you tell the difference? “Top 10 lists” and rankings are the number one cause of problems in tourism. How can we all (industry, travelers, locals) work together to solve them? A Keynote by Robert Palinkas & Moritz Freise, CoFounder of TravelNet.
