In the wake of The ABTA Travel Convention in Abu Dhabi \u2014\u00a0coverage of which is included in this issue, alongside this season\u2019s industry news \u2014 editor Jo Fletcher-Cross comments: \u201cIf there\u2019s one takeaway, it\u2019s that boldness pays. Abu Dhabi is a place of audacious constructions, of dreams in the desert. This is the place that decided that when it was going to build a cultural quarter, it would install an outpost of the Louvre and the Guggenheim. No half measures \u2014 an approach that resonated throughout the Convention. From robots to silver travellers, from demanding clarity on Brexit to expansion on the high street, it seems confidence and boldness is what we need going into 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n
