XDW 2023 Preview Event

Last Friday, February 24th, we previewed our X. Design Week (XDW) 2023 programme. XDW 2023 is the DTTT's second in-person event since the pandemic, which will be held in València between 29-31st March. XDW will explore the major trends and challenges in the travel industry. The event is held in collaboration with TheNextWeb, to bring together global tech leaders and provide excellent networking opportunities between the travel industry and tech innovators.


During the event preview session, Nick and Ana explained what you can expect from the DTTT's latest and most immersive event. They highlight that XDW is a great event to come together, discuss and learn how we can facilitate tourism's sustainable transition to reinvent and redefine the future of tourism. XDW will help destinations and businesses to better understand how to create positive experiences, not only for travellers but also considering locals and environment.
