The seminar, to be moderated by Martin Moodie of Moodie International, will cover topics including: the challenges facing Nordic ferries; the neglected convenience category; and suppliers' views of the regional travel-retail market.

The event costs Eu645, which includes all meal, a three-course gala menu, accommodation in luxury single cabins and bus transfer to Hamburg airport or train station after the event. The Nordic Travel Retail Group is inviting members to send one delegate free of charge.
