Look at Saudi Arabia. Five years there. That decides travel for the next half-century. It feels like a stretch until you see the numbers. A survey of 400+ travel execs lays it out. Five paths. Sustainable success is the goal, if you can navigate the Kingdom.

The US Dips
The World Cup didn’t save June. US tourism dropped. Total overseas visits were lower than last year. Yet the UK? They surged. Interesting trade. Everyone goes home for summer, but somewhere the global south catches a breath.
The SAS Shuffle
SAS needs a CEO. Van der Werff has six months. That’s it. He hands over the keys then. By that time? The board might look totally different. So who picks the successor? You might be hiring someone for a job you don’t have the authority to give. 🏢

Catch-up mode engaged. The gap narrows, inch by inch.
