It wasn’t
long ago people traveled with physical maps, no smart phones and a lot of help
from travel agents and books. Today personalized travel is the internet, machine
learning and mobile devices!
Research
predicts that by 2020, digital travel outlays will top $817 billion globally.
With worldwide travel rising 13.8% in 2016 to reach 564.87 billion. Now that is
staggering!
“As mobile partnerships, social media and data integration
revolutionises travel. It’s not just money driving these trends but it’s
creating meaningful customer experiences, that makes consumers loyal and in our
industry, that is gold!” Shreya Ganapathy, VP Sales, EyeforTravel. She went on
to say. “We are at a tipping point where brands can focus on customer
experience, consumer behaviour and the need to engage and build relationships
with these connected travellers right through the travel cycle…. and at the
centre of it all we have data!”
EyeforTravel
are excited about these business prospects and have positioned their next
EyeForTravel North America Summit (Las Vegas, October 19-20) to focus on ‘Driving
Loyalty in a Digital and Data Driven World!’
The event
will bring together 400+ of the best brands in travel to focus on how to
develop digital plans, marketing and content strategies, apps and data and
personalized experiences to make sure the customer has the best travel
experience.
With
limited branding, exhibition and thought leadership opportunities
available this could be your exclusive chance to get on stage and meet the
industry elite.
With a recently
released speaker list of the who’s who in travel, this is one event you don’t
want to miss!
