24 Event Planner & Travel News January 2021 V I D E O A G E Good Travel News Tends to Come in Pairs A good number of em- ployees are now very or somewhat willing to travel, according to a new Global Business Travel Asso- ciation (GBTA) survey. The survey, conducted November 9-16, 2020, coincided with news that COVID vaccines were soon to be available. GBTA surveyed 822 industry professionals, 40 percent of whom were travel managers or procurement professionals. About 42 percent of non- European travel buyers sur- veyed indicated that they ex- pected their organizations to reach half of their 2019 domestic business travel levels within six months, while another 39 percent said they expected to reach that level within a year. About 58 percent of Eu- ropean buyers said that they expected to reach that 50 percent threshold within six months. A further 33 percent believed it would happen within a year. And a final three percent claimed that they had already reached that level. Meanwhile, meeting and event space provider Etc. venues, which has spaces in the U.K. and New York City, saw a “noticeable increase” in bookings for in-person events on both sides of the pond immediately following the an- nouncements of successful COVID-19 vaccine trials. “The organizers of several major events provisionally booked for Q2 and Q3 2021 confirmed them, while at the same time there was an influx of new inquiries and bookings for Q1 onwards,” the company reported. 2021 Yearly Calendar NATPE Miami Virtual January 19-29 Miami, Florida, U.S. Tel: (310) 453-4440 www.natpe.com/miami Virtual Event SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL January 28-February 3 Park City, Utah Tel: (310) 360-1981 www.sundance.org Hybrid Event BERLINALE CO-PRODUCTION MARKET March 1-5 Berlin, Germany Tel: (49 30) 259200 www.berlinale.de Virtual Event MIP-TV April 12-16 Cannes, France Tel: (212) 370-7470 www.miptv.com Virtual Event CANNES FILM FEST May 11-22 Cannes, France Tel: (33 1) 5359 6100 www.festival-cannes.com/fr Format TBA SERIES MANIA May 28 - June 5 Lille, France Tel: (33 1) 8479 6949 www.seriesmania.com Hybrid Event L.A.
