The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on global movement. Following almost a year of restrictions, quarantine periods, changing travel corridors and border closures, travel for business and leisure remains extremely limited. Comprising over 247,000 alumni located in 167 countries worldwide, Warwick’s global alumni community has a significant interest in exploring how the industry might recover.

In this webinar we will be joined live from Melbourne by Warwick alumnus and founder of Lonely Planet Publications, Tony Wheeler, to discuss his views and explore what the future of travel might look like in a post pandemic society.

Interviewing Tony will be Professor Noel McCarthy of the Warwick Institute for Global Pandemic Planning (IGPP), and Professor of Communicable Disease Epidemiology and Control, Warwick Medical School.

Tony and Noel will discuss these topics, and answer questions submitted by our global alumni community, including how consumers travel behaviour may change and how academic research from the IGPP can support the recovery.
