Travel is one of life’s great pleasures, but when things inevitably go wrong, it can be the source of nightmares. Are you ready to handle the nightmare of a crisis?

Picture this: You arrive at work one morning to find local media and the family of a travelling client camped outside your place of work. Your client was caught up in something horrific overnight, and they’re demanding information.

Do you know what your obligations and responsibilities are? Should you be contacting DFAT? What are the insurance implications of the events? What can you do to minimise damage to your hard-earned reputation? Legally where do you and your colleagues stand?

Would you be able to answer any of the questions above?

Preparation and planning are key to handling any crisis incident—a primary theme at CATO’s Crisis Management Conference in Sydney on 21 February 2019.

This unique one-day event will have you thinking in a proactive manner as opposed to reacting after the fact putting you back in control.

“The Council of Australia Tour Operators (CATO) invites professionals from all corners of the travel industry to attend this invaluable conference.”

Brett Jardine, CATO Managing Director

The conference comprises a series of keynote presentations and panel discussions from experts in Communications and Public Relations, Technology, Crisis Leadership, Insurance and Legal aspects of Crisis Management—critical insights for anyone in the travel industry from retail and corporate travel agencies, wholesalers, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines and more.
