In the wake of The ABTA Travel Convention in Abu Dhabi 鈥斅燾overage of which is included in this issue, alongside this season鈥檚 industry news 鈥� editor Jo Fletcher-Cross comments: 鈥淚f there鈥檚 one takeaway, it鈥檚 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 鈥� 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.鈥�
