in the Kvarner Region
This year's RDA Annual Conference will take place from 22nd – 25th October 2024 in the Kvarner Region in Rijeka. The Kvarner Region will also be the partner region of the RDA Group Travel Expo 2025.
In Rijeka, we will look into the future together. We will discuss the trends of tomorrow, changes in consumer behaviour, increasing efficiency in companies by using artificial intelligence and systemic coaching. We will also look at the new Package Travel Directive: a blessing or a curse?
These are topics that are important for your success, embedded in the beautiful setting of the Hilton Rijeka Costabella Beach Resort & Spa as our conference hotel in the Kvarner region, which will inspire us with touristic and culinary highlights!
We look forward to your participation!
