What members have to say

  • I enjoyed meeting again the actors of the UK ski market at LISTEX 2019 summer exchange. Great to have feed-back from those in direct touch with the clients. I have been honoured by the interest of the audience to my update on the facts and figures about global ski market. Their numerous questions showed the great interest there is for accurate market data.

    - Laurent Vanat - Author of the International Report on Mountain Tourism

  • This was the first LISTEX event I’d attended and I found it really useful. Lots of relevant content, interesting speakers and networking opportunities.

    - Farina Azam: Partner, Travlaw

  • SASTEX was a fantastic forum that helped facilitate fantastic new connections and potential business partnerships as well as learn more about the state of play across the industry. Combined with an engaging guest speaker in Squash Falconer and fascinating panel discussions, I can't recommend the event enough.

    - Ben Lee: Bikecation
