Special Guests
Kathy Moyer Dragon,
Founder and Owner of The Dragon's Path, ActiveWomen.com
and now a consultant with Eons.com, has spent the past
two decades in the center of the active and adventure
travel industry. Having researched, designed, marketed,
sold and then personally escorted and facilitated the
travel experiences of over 3000 guests on small group
adventure and cultural trips around the globe Kathy
will discuss how baby boomers are changing today’s
travel landscape from what products they want (can’t
stand or wish for) to how different generations of travelers
perceive themselves in today’s active travel environment.
All these questions and answers have changed over the
past decade as the boomer travel market has evolved
and yes, redefined the travel industry.
