A Conversation with Johannes Jungwirth

Q: Johannes, what makes the Skål ITB Reception such a special moment within the ITB schedule?
“The ITB is an incredibly dynamic event, filled with meetings, presentations, and negotiations. While this is essential for business, the Skål ITB Reception provides a different kind of value—it’s about personal connections. We believe that great partnerships are built not just in boardrooms but also in moments of shared camaraderie. This reception is a chance to relax, share experiences, and celebrate our global network.”
Q: What can guests expect from this year’s reception?
“This year, we are putting a special emphasis on fostering new relationships and reconnecting with old friends. Our reception will feature a fine selection of wines and sparkling bubbles, setting the stage for engaging conversations. We will also highlight key developments within Skål, including upcoming international events and initiatives. It’s an open space for dialogue and celebration, and we encourage everyone to join.”
Q: How does this event reflect Skål International’s mission?
“At Skål, we live by the motto ‘Doing Business Among Friends.’ This reception is a true embodiment of that principle. It’s a place where professionals can strengthen their networks in a genuine and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s not just about business—it’s about building long-term friendships in the tourism industry.”
