Dear Sir or Madam
World Tourism Forum Lucerne is transforming slowly from a single Forum to a platform with selected events around the globe. The exchange between CEOs and the Next Generation as well as the opportunity to get new perspectives are the USPs, which have been mentioned by the participants from previous Forums. “Together we can make a difference” declared a CEO in the first Forum in 2009. Let’s therefore walk the talk and use the World Tourism Forum Lucerne as a platform which brings together Young Talents and experienced CEOs, the public and the private sector and the different sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industry.
Be part of the fourth World Tourism Forum Lucerne which concentrates on trends, talents, innovation and sustainable growth. Make sure you have saved the dates 23-24 April 2015 in your agenda and you are one of an exclusive group of Executives, experts or leaders, who wants actively to walk the talk!
Looking forward to seeing you soon in beautiful Lucerne!

| SOLVING THE TALENT CHALLENGE: A 180° TURN FROM BRAIN DRAIN TO MAGNET FOR THE BEST |
|
 |
One of the major challenges facing the hospitality, tourism and travel industries has been the exodus of talent and with it the experience, complicating the on-going need for companies to compete with other sectors, to recruit and retain the best people. Further confounding this is the difficulty of sustaining a young workforce that loses interest and changes jobs at record pace. |
| To grapple with this looming predicament, World Tourism Forum Lucerne in association with Bridge.Over Group, Korn Ferry International and PricewaterhouseCoopers is conducting a detailed analysis of the employer and employee pool of hospitality companies globally to arrive at an action plan complete with tactics and programs, short term responses and long term strategies all with an eye to win this race of attracting the next generation talent. |
