On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, the annual Reizen naar Morgen congress will take place at the Provinciaal Hof in Bruges. This is the premier networking event for the Flemish tourism sector. The program is now complete, and it promises to be an inspiring and knowledge-rich day.
To give you a good overview of the day, we have highlighted the most important parts and related articles for you:
The keynote of the day will be delivered by nature and environmental conservationist Ignace Schops. He will speak about the role of nature, landscape, and Nature-Based Solutions for resilient tourism destinations.
It is simultaneously unsettling and challenging to shape the future together. Unsettling because of major challenges such as wars, viruses, climate change, and biodiversity loss; challenging because of the opportunities for developing new destinations and coalitions. The present is the past of the future. This means that today's choices and actions form the foundations for the world of tomorrow. What we establish now will later become the history upon which the future is built. What role do nature and landscape play in that future? Can Nature-Based Solutions contribute to more resilient destinations? And can the renewed attention to the beauty and simplicity of nature serve as a compass for the tourism of tomorrow?
