29. Mobile for hospitality
1 Clearly a high growth distribution platform
2 Location, personal, voice, mobile!
3 A personalised engagement platform.
4 Grow sources of revenue.
5 India - mobile first!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity. It is always good to interact with the hospitality industry and I think is the best part of the travel industry. Am very excited about today’s topic because this is technology at its best. I have been in the technology industry for a long time and really thrilled to see amazing changes technology has done to re shape the world. I admit it can be too fast some times but mobile technology has the potential to reach everybody and empower everybody. And that is why it is so exciting.
We are living in an connected world. I do not remember last when I saw TV for more than 15 minutes at a stretch. I do remember that I spend lot of time on my phone, macbook and tablet. And we cannot leave our phones…
So the agenda in brief, clearly mobile is here and now. How is it impacting hospitality industry which is of great interest to all of us. I also want to share some stories of how hospitality and travel industry is using this platform and what are the possibilities.
And not just in metros but small towns too…
If you have to reach a segment between 15 to 34, mobile has more reach than TV!! Maximum possible reach of TV is 94%. And most time spent as well!
Huge numbers and huge growth! 300 million + by 2015.
India is huge in terms of using video and social on mobile.
20% of hotel queries come on mobile now… and they are growing faster than desktop… in fact for overall number of queries, mobile has already surpassed desktop in India…
