Greetings and salutations. IATM has just completed their November Board meeting and I am happy to report that there is a growing recognition that the recession is ending.

As in years past, I was able to represent IATM at the WTM, which is one of the largest Travel Trade shows in the world, and as such I am able to report back to you an account of this historic year. Please reflect on this special editorial, “2009 – There and back again, the year of the great dip” and send me an email if you found this information useful.

We can still expect lower passenger bookings for 2010 then we have been accustomed to in years past, but expectations are for a brighter 2011 and so on.
