‘CONNECTED: Business, People, Ideas’

Global leaders will gather in Mallorca to discuss the future of tourism and the influence of emerging markets.
Travelgate, part of the Travelsoft group, is hosting the fifth edition of ConX, an exclusive event that will bring together more than 1,000 professionals from the tourism industry on 21 May at the Son Moix Football Stadium in Mallorca.

Under the slogan ‘Connected: Business, People, Ideas’, this edition focuses on the interconnection of the tourism ecosystem. From technology and strategic alliances to sustainability and customer experience, Connected explores how synergies between companies, people and ideas are transforming the sector globally.

Among the featured speakers at ConX 2025 are international leaders such as Felix Shpilman (CEO, Emerging Travel Group), Javier Cabrerizo (Chief Strategy & Transformation, HBX Group), Walter Buschta (SVP, Phocuswright), Ada Xu (Director of International Affairs, FLIGGY – Alibaba Group) and Emilie Dumont (CEO, Digitrips), among others.

One of the most eagerly awaited moments will be the inspirational talk by Johan Lundgren, former CEO of easyJet, who will share his vision on leadership, business creativity and how to stay connected to the values that drive personal and professional innovation.
‘In an increasingly fragmented landscape, connection is power. It means resilience, more agile innovation and shared success,’ says Pedro Camara, CEO of Travelgate.

A platform to rethink the future of tourism
During the conference, key topics will be addressed, such as:
New growth strategies in B2B distribution: how technology, personalisation and sustainability are reshaping travel planning and management.
The entry of new brands into the travel ecosystem: the impact of non-traditional players such as banks and retailers on the customer experience and value creation.
The growing influence of India in global tourism: a look at its internal transformation, strategic investments and international positioning.
The event will also include an exclusive interview with Javier Cabrerizo (HBX Group), who will analyse the group’s growth plans and its role in the global tourism ecosystem.
