Introduction
Introduction Introduction It is now widely accepted that the Internet can significantly impact the way we do business. Given the immense growth of Internet use in recent years, effects on businesses (positive or negative) have often been unavoidable and new strategies necessary. The Web has certainly affected the choice of the travel consumer, content has been developed, services improved, use evolved, business/consumer relationships changed, research and buying cycles transformed and as a result, online travel markets have developed globally. With faster, more efficient and measureable methods for companies to communicate directly (and indirectly) with consumers, e-commerce has revolutionised the way we do business in Travel. Efficiency drives most new technological investments and over the years, continuous development has enabled travel companies to improve the efficiency of the travel distribution chain. As well as the evolution of the Internet and its impact, in recent years new systems have been introduced enabling Hotels, Airlines, Car Rental Companies and other Travel suppliers and intermediaries to work online, improve processes, reduce costs, work together and ultimately increase the efficiency of their businesses. Without a doubt, digital strategies in Travel are increasingly fundamental. So with the dynamic nature of the travel industry and its consumers, what’s next? The evolution of the mobile phone from a personal communication tool to an information and social hub may open a range of possibilities for the travel industry. The ability to research, book and change travel arrangements at all times makes the mobile phone seem an ideal tool for travellers. The ability to connect with consumers at all times also seems ideal from the perspective of travel companies. It is argued that the mobile phone and its recent enhancements may take the efficiency of online travel to a new level and that Mobile technology may have another immense impact on the consumer buying cycle, thus the way we do business. Since mobile telephones were introduced they have reduced in size from unwieldy ‘brick’s’ with one function (to make voice calls) to very portable, highly sophisticated devices which in most cases act as the hub of our daily lives. The mobile phone has incorporated itself into that small list of items we must always have with us (as well as keys and wallet). This suggests something very exciting for the travel industry and many companies are busy investigating possibilities at all stages of the consumer buying cycle. But are there real possibilities? What and where could you be looking towards? How should you go about investing in this new digital strategy? What opportunities and challenges exist? Who has already invested in Mobile and how? Does the technology exist to enable what you want to actually do happen? 8 © EyeforTravel Research. All rights reserved.

Travel - The Introduction Introduction VOL. 3: MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN - Part 3 to be published May 2009 - TRAVEL REPORT – The Update New EyeforTravel mobile research findings launched at the Travel Distribution Summit Europe 2009. Including brand new consumer research around online travel and the use of mobile technology. PHASE TWO The practical & interactive seminars (19-20th May, Business Design Centre, London): In Phase Two of the School of Mobile, we’ll move from information about planning and understanding mobile in travel on to practical and interactive seminars. Travel suppliers and intermediaries will have the opportunity to listen to experts in the field of mobile technology, watch and be part of panel debates around relevant topics to the travel industry and learn what a mobile strategy could mean to them. These seminars will take place in a Mobile Zone on 19-20th May in London located within the Travel Distribution Summit Europe 2009 exhibition area and travel suppliers and intermediaries are invited to attend free of charge. EyeforTravel Research will also be presenting their latest mobile research at intervals throughout the day in the Mobile Zone. Included in this, there’ll be loads of new and invaluable statistics, trends and industry insight revealed. For the remainder of the day we look to tackle the key technological issues and opportunities in a more practical style. The speakers will aim to help travel companies take practical steps forward and generate ideas about the opportunities available to them. And, there will be exhibition stands there and meeting places to learn about products and services in more depth. • To register for your place at the seminars please email amy@eyefortravel.com. • To recommend a company with a suitable mobile technology solution that you think would add value to the event please also email amy@eyefortravel.com. 11 © EyeforTravel Research.
