Testimonials

The Arival Conference was a great opportunity to meet like-minded tour operators from all over the world and to learn from their experiences & our own. A well-run event & wonderful networking opportunity.

Terry Smit

Go West Tours
I loved the app, and the fact that the sessions did not feel like free advertising opportunities for the speakers.

Carole Favre

The Fabulous Tourism Academy
Arival is a fantastic event and probably one of the best I’ve attended. Having a focused event on Tours & Activities is needed in this fast growing environment and this is what Arival provides.

Matt Cuckston

Klook
I really enjoyed the event! It was a great learning experience and I’m already improving my business based on that knowledge. I also connected with a company that would not know about me if I wasn’t at Arival and that I believe will prove to be a good partner for the years to come.

Antonio Rocha

Bago D'Uva 360 Portugal Tours
Arival Insiders is a fantastic initiative. I've been to very many travel trade shows over the years - as I'm sure you all have - and in the short time you've been around you have become one of the very best of them, both in-person and now taking it so much further with all the initiatives you are developing online. Your support for our sector over the past 12 months has been both incredibly useful and great comfort.

Siobhan Pigot

Memories France
I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable, it was. I enjoy the lack of TOURIST BOARDS and waste talks about politics. The consumer data was precious. Subjects were highly relevant to me. I felt it was a cost efficient and productive use of my time away from the office.

Ana Araque

The War of The Worlds
Arival conference is music for my ears. I know our market is fragmented and we are all busy, so meeting people that experience the passion, frustrations and success like I do is awesome.

Luciano Bullorsky

ToursByLocals
I’ve long admired the great work and industry-centric approach that Douglas & Bruce have utilized to educate and bring the Attractions industry together. The past year has brought unprecedented challenges for everyone, regardless of the role you play within the travel and tourism space.

Tony Goodmann

Universal Orlando Resort
It’s a totally community oriented event. It was spectacular to meet everyone here. We are really witnessing the birth of our industry right here.
