Great expectations for upcoming Travel Distribution Technology 2008
Thursday, January 10, 2008
After a year off last year, EyeforTravel’s Travel Distribution Technology conference is back and better than ever. The demand for this event has cemented its reputation as the travel industry’s annual technology brief. Speaking at the conference on 16-17th January at the Regent’s Park Marriott, London is a full agenda of industry experts and below is a preview of what will be covered.

As with all EyeforTravel events plenty of time will be allocated to allow interactive participation and networking. easyJet will give their perspective on ‘that GDS deal’, Hertz will talk about future distribution technology opportunities, Virgin Holidays are set to share their website expertise, KLM offer their take on GDS distribution as well as Sabre and Amadeus informing you of their plan for 2008.

 

The two day event will explore both sides of the distribution argument: from suppliers such as Hilton and intermediaries like Expedia. Also social media experts from TripAdvisor and WAYN will be on hand to offer you advice as well as the opportunity to quiz Costa Cruises on the progression of their Web 2.0 strategy.

Two keynotes are lined up for day two: British Airways and Google. British Airways will be giving us an insight into their innovation by examining the technologies that can bring you closer to your customer than ever before and Google share their experience gained across multiple industries to show the travel industry what they can learn.

Finishing off the conference will be an examination of commercial and natural search followed by a look at the distribution platforms of the future. For more information on this event, a full list of speakers and to see who is already attending click here.

TravelDailyNews International is the Media Supporter of the event.

How do you expect luxury travel to perform in times of economic downturn?.

Providers of luxury travel products are going to witness shorter stays by their customers and an increase in seasonality.

People are going to become more value conscious and will opt for those luxury offers that represent a convincing value-for-money proposition. Providers of overpriced services are those to feel the pinch.

Both people paying for their personal trips and firms paying for their top executives' business trips will cut back on travel expenses, thus affecting all luxury travel providers.

It is going to be business as usual. Those people opting for high-end travel products are not going to be affected by the looming crisis.
