Sports, Wellness & TravelTech: The Future of Active Travel

What happens when sport, wellness, travel and technology come together?

From major sporting events driving destination visits to the growing popularity of wellness breaks, active holidays and experience-led travel, the relationship between sport, wellness and tourism is evolving rapidly.

Our September TravelTech Meetup will explore how technology is helping shape this growing space and the opportunities emerging at the intersection of sport, wellness and travel.

We’ll bring together voices from across the sectors to explore questions including:

How is technology changing the sports travel experience?From ticketing and fan experiences to travel planning and destination discovery, how can technology make it easier to travel for sport?

What is the future of wellness tourism?How are data, AI and personalisation helping travellers discover and design more meaningful wellness and active travel experiences?

How can destinations make the most of major sporting events?Beyond the event itself, how can technology help destinations manage visitor flows, extend stays and create lasting economic impact?

Where are the opportunities for innovation?What new products, services and experiences are emerging as sport, wellness and travel increasingly converge?

Join us for an evening of discussion, ideas and networking with people working across TravelTech, tourism, sport, wellness and the wider visitor economy.

Whether you’re building technology, working in sport or wellness, managing a destination, or simply interested in where these sectors are heading, we’d love to have you join the conversation.
