And hey, more gifts and invitations might follow in the upcoming weeks. Yes, travel is back and we are here for it! 🙌- Atomize is a Swedish revenue management specialist in hospitality. They kept their growth during the pandemic, and now the startup has raised €3.4 million in a pre-IPO funding round.- From September 27th to 30th Barcelona will host IAAPA Expo Europe: a part-expo, part-conference event focused on the leisure industry. Gotta keep the fun going in the travel industry, right? Together with IAAPA, we are giving away 5 tickets to the event! It's a great opportunity for anyone interested in connecting with international attractions industry leaders and decision makers. To participate, hit reply and tell us three things you like about the FutureTravel weekly newsletter. The first five replies will get their own free pass for the event. Ready, set, reply!- I'm always curious about the generational shift and its impact on an industry, so I really enjoyed this article highlighting three key Generation Z behaviours and what travel brands can expect from them.- The pandemic brought attention to the Chinese market in many different ways. Now, when we are looking into the path for recovery, this post brought some interesting data on what is the current scenario for the travel market in China - and for Chinese tourists.- European Summer is soon over (already!?) and we all witness how the delta variant has impacted travel in Europe - but now there is lots of data and graphics to detail the aftermath.- Space travel insurance is now a thing.- With the aim to become the market leader for environmentally friendly and sustainable tourism in Europe, DER Touristik and Deutsche Seereederei are joining forces. To kick-off, the joint venture will be responsible for the operations of 16 hotels and resorts, located in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Nice timing.- Launched right before the pandemic, Wanderlog helps travelers with the logistics of their trips with a platform that makes it easier to plan and share travel info - as an alternative for the combo: spreadsheet and copy+paste. And now the founders announced that they have just raised $1.5 million to further grow the platform and its features.

See you next Thursday, Ana
