Everybody Deserves a Holiday
Join us for a morning of discussion, insights, and connection on the future of inclusive tourism in Europe.
In collaboration with our partners, Airbnb is pleased to invite you to a special event focused on the future of inclusive tourism in Europe. The event will take place on Wednesday, 16 July 2025, at Bump Space, Rue du Luxembourg 26, Brussels.
The morning will begin with a breakfast at 9:00 AM, followed by a panel discussion from 10:00 to 11:00 AM on: Fostering a More Inclusive Travel Experience for Families
As families across Europe continue to face rising costs of living, this panel will explore how the tourism sector can respond – by making travel more affordable, accessible, and welcoming to everyone.
Panellists include:
- Lionel Flasseur, President, Essentiem
- Karoline Iwersen, Board Member, European Large Families Confederation (ELFAC)
- Ellen Madeker, EU Public Policy Lead, Airbnb
- Emmanuel Mounier, Secretary General, EU Travel Tech
From 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, guests are invited to explore the Bump Space venue and continue the conversation during an informal networking session.
