For the next 3 days, I'll be attending
Travelcom '09 , one of the key travel trade-shows attended by all the who's who of the industry. Like every '09 show, the economy has a major effect on the vibe and the topics discussed. However at the same time, the travel industry is going through a quite a unique process of change, inflicted by a mixture of economic, regulatory and technology trends. I will be sitting on a panel about mobile and its influence on travel - "
What you must know about Marketing Travel through Evolving Mobile Communications Systems" to which I've been invited by one of the few real luminaries in travel -
Henry Herteveldt of Forrester. So if you're there - drop by, I guarantee it will be interesting.
Time permitting - I intend to write my next post about Web 2.0 and Travel. It seems like, unlike other areas, in Travel, web 2.0 actually means business.
Oh, one last thing - I owe you this picture, taken from seat 2F on yesterday's Continental flight EWR-ATL... I'm thinking of making it part of the WorldMate brand...
