"By engaging with current and future leaders in travel and tourism, RISE is shining a light on what is needed to ensure the industry can rebound, notwithstanding tumultuous times. It was an privilege to take part in this forward-thinking virtual initiative."
"Terrific to join Demian and Anita on their very innovative and focused RISE show. As a guest, I felt extremely relaxed and encouraged to give my honest views on where the global retail business currently stands. I believe the RISE show concept is incredibly well thought through, offering great viewer content. With the charming and professional Anita Mendiratta, nothing is left to chance."
"A huge thank-you to the RISE team for welcoming me onto the show. It is a really engaging format - I loved the level of insight, depth and interest in key tourism topics that the show offers."
“RISE is an important resource and I welcomed the opportunity to appear as a “Guest Executive” to provide insight into the insurance industry, the issues and the solutions needed to help restart travel. The world has been in shock for the last 9 months, the virus caught us off guard. Leaders, Health professionals and everyday people have been trying to understand how to be safe, what to do and how or when we will get back to something we recognize. RISE has proven to be an inspirational positive space to learn and be inspired with the confidence to find our way forward."
"In an industry that is still very much in denial, RISE asks the difficult questions - and fosters a debate on how to forge ahead."
"It was an honour to be part of RISE, as it has really become a brand, and a platform known to share industry reality. The atmosphere created, all preparations done, to ensure almost a living-room environment, on zoom, a skill, or rather a talent! Our discussion was one of the most engaging, positive and open dialogues on our every-day changing industry!“
