"South African Tourism was delighted to be involved with the Adventure Travel Networking (ATN) event and honoured that the South African High Commission made it possible to host the conference in such a special location. Moving forward, collaboration is going to be the way the industry will grow stronger and events like this encourage this approach. We learned a lot, as well as ensuring all attendees - in person, or virtual - went away taking a little bit of South Africa with them."

"The ATN Marketplace is a fantastic initiative to network with tour operators specialising in adventure travel. As a tourist board, it's really important to build strong relationships with the valued travel trade to enable us to share the Maltese Islands with more travellers from the UK. The adventure niche also gives us more insight into the innovations in sustainable tourism which is incredibly valuable."

We had exciting conversations about new hiking routes in the Julian Alps in Slovenia and for kayaking in Rwanda just to name a few - opportunities I would never have thought of before. We look forward to broadening our portfolio of partnerships for new itineraries and for future ATN events!"

"As a DMC, the 2021 ATN was our first virtual marketplace and it has been a very successful experience. The one-on-one meetings arrangement was very smooth and offered the opportunity to easily meet new potential partners that we may have not been able to reach out to for a physical event. ATN proved to be an efficient "boutique event" and played a great role in facilitating the meetings."   
Guilhem Cavaille, ASIA DMC    

"Invaluable consumer insights coupled with expert thoughts on key aspects of the adventure travel business, all brilliantly curated. An essential conference for those working in the industry."

"Many thanks for crafting and presenting such a thought-provoking ATN Conference. I was determined to attend as the various panels and speakers looked extremely interesting. Thank you too for being so kind as to offer the Derek Moore Foundation a generous donation in a year when not many people are prepared to donate to charities. As a result of the exposure ATN gave us I am now working with a tour operator and another charity to raise funds. I look forward to being further involved with ATN 2022."
Derek Moore, The Derek Moore Foundation
