Travel Trends with Dan Christian Event Preview: Arival 360 Valencia with Bruce Rosard
Ready to meet the leaders driving the next phase of multi-day tour growth?
In this Event Preview Episode we’re taking you inside the plans for Arival 360 Valencia, a focused three-day gathering where operators, distributors, and travel tech leaders come together to talk tours, activities, attractions and this year, a significantly expanded Multi-Day Tour Program.
Building on the multi program success from Washington, DC, this isn’t just a side conversation. It’s a dedicated, strategic stream built specifically for multi-day operators looking to scale distribution, modernize tech, and build stronger partnerships across Europe and beyond.
Our first conversation features Bruce Rosard, Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Arival, who shares why the expansion of the Multi-Day Stream reflects one of the biggest shifts happening in in-destination travel right now: operators moving from fragmented systems and manual processes toward scalable, connected distribution ecosystems.
Meet the Multi-Day Leaders Before You Arrive
As part of our Travel Trends Podcast coverage, we’ll be hosting exclusive 15-minute pre-event interviews on our YouTube Channel with several of the key Multi-Day speakers including TourRadar CEO Travis Pittman, WeRoad CEO Andrea D’Amico, G Adventures GM EMEA, Brian Young, Contiki Director of Product Strategy Natasha Lawrence and more.
These short conversations are designed to help you:
- Learn more about the speakers and their companies
- Understand what’s bringing them to Arival Valencia
- Discover the partnership opportunities they’re actively exploring
- Identify who you should connect with before you even land
Think of it as strategic networking before the event begins.
A Dedicated Multi-Day Stream
The expanded Multi-Day Tour Program brings together senior leaders from companies like Intrepid, Exxotica, Evan Evans, TTC and Much Better Adventures and more for candid, practical discussions around:
- Distribution strategy across direct, OTAs, and marketplace partners
- Connectivity challenges and API-driven integration
- Content and inventory systems for complex, multi-departure catalogs
- Channel mix optimization and margin protection
- Marketing that balances storytelling with operational discipline
Backed by Arival’s proprietary research, including new multi-day specific insights on tech adoption, channel performance, and shifting consumer demand, this stream is designed for operators looking for growth.
Beyond Multi-Day: AI, Culinary & Executive Strategy
While Multi-Day expansion is a major focus, the broader program also delivers:
- Executive Summit: A facilitator-led day for 100 industry leaders tackling pricing, channel strategy, product design, and scalable systems.
- AI Track & Hands-On Lab: Practical sessions on LLM distribution, evolving search behavior, and workflow automation you can deploy immediately.
