Selecting the Right Technology Platform

The travel market is continuously getting competitive with new organizations entering the market. Thus, travel service providers are in search of new avenues to capture consumer markets for better revenue returns. Travel technology is however perceived by many a novel way through which companies can not only expand their business, but simplify the tasks and also better serve the consumers. There are travel technology companies that are adding more value in this quickly changing travel industry. To be at par with the competition, it is important to develop good business model along with choosing the right technology.

To expand, optimize and manage the business, it is important to consider a few factors about the technology that you have selected for your business. Below we have mentioned some of the features that make a technology fit for your business:

Cloud Technology

Switching to a cloud based technology is the best way to automate the entire process and reduce operational cost to a great extent. Instead if purchasing or setting up service infrastructure, the travel providers can take this service from their technology providers. As the technology providers maintain and update the software according to the latest developments, the travel operators also stay updated with the most recent market trends.

Valuable, User-Friendly Sales Channel

No matter whether you are a travel agency owner, running a hotel or dealing in rented cars, you must rely on a few sales channels like internet booking engine, B2B dashboard and call center etc. These help expand your business by reaching new consumer markets. However, while selecting any of these sales channels, the service providers must consider making these user-friendly; customers would never like a booking engine which is complex and full of features that the use might not understand well.

Easily Accessible and Flexible Technology

“One shoe doesn’t fit all”! This proverb is exactly true in terms of technology too. No two organizations have the same needs and thus what technology works for a particular company might not work the same way for the other. Moreover, to fit the changing consumer requirements, it’s important to deploy technology which is flexible enough to match the standards.

Consolidate the Business

Online booking is a crucial part of any hotel, airline or consolidator business. Thus it is important to consolidate the business with a central booking handling interface. A good travel management system should have strong back office tool that can be easily integrated with the booking engine and third-party tools. Additionally, it also needs to have additional features to manage other components and attributes of the business. With the help of a customer relationship management service, you can easily maintain customer details and minimize the manual hassles.

Backend Support

In travel business, the most stressful work is to manage the back office. From maintaining customer details to answering customer’s quarries, everything has to be streamlined in order to make the organization function smoothly. Technology can be of great savor to minimize back office management hassle. There are tools that address the requirements of customers and business associates by bringing them all important information to their fingertip.

Security is Paramount

To safeguard company data as well as the details of the customers is one of the most important things that companies should consider first. A secure payment gateway on the online sales channels ensures total protection to your customer’s monetary details along with creating a bond of trust between the two parties.

Technology has made our lives easy than ever before. On the contrary, a wrong selection might have an adverse impact on your business. Thus, it is always suggested to do an in-depth research before choosing a technology service provider for your travel business.

The Future of Global Travel Industry and the Role of Technology

Whether its war, pestilence, record debts or high oil prices, nothing can actually extinguish human desire to travel to lands far or near, to explore the unexplored and experience the exotic, to look a distant customer in the eye or stretch near a sempiternal shoreline with a Ruskin Bond book in hand. With man’s desire increases the challenges for the travel industry, but past few years’ observation certainly proves the industry’s agility and creativity to survive such challenges and come up with services, technology, business model and new working culture that proved fruitful to cope up with the situation.

Technology solutions including communication technologies, distribution systems, sensing and identification technologies etc. are perceived by many as the driving force to advance the growth of travel industry in the coming years. From big business houses to small-scale organizations, everyone is considering modern technological developments to help them deliver a more efficient, seamless and engaging experience at all stages of consumer’s journey.

Speculating on the future of travel, marketers believe that trends like globalization of business, growth in global migration, globalization of travel and tourism and rising affluence are some of the prime reasons that will transform the travel industry in the coming time. According to the experts, the future is already here. From planning the travel to sharing the travel experience, technology has its impactful presence in every phase of a person’s travel experience. In the present scenario, social media networks are becoming popular as the potent channels to market travel products and services. In next 5 years, around 76% of globetrotters are expected to book their travel as suggested over the social sites by the people on their network.

In the mid part of 20th century, technological innovations like booking engines showed a rapid growth in air travel market. The popularity of this technology soon made it popular among other divisions of the industry including hotels, travel agencies, cruise liners etc. Today, it’s hard to find a hotel that doesn’t have a website and an online hotel booking engine. It not only makes the entire booking procedure easier for the consumers, but makes it extremely convenient for the hotels to track the customer records and manage the entire reservation system.

Surveys show that cloud computing is gradually becoming popular in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry too. Cloud computing lets the company’s technology infrastructure up and running round the clock. Cloud computing reduces capital expenditures and the need to replicate hardware environment at each location.

The consumerization of technology is changing the way travelers interact, obtain information and purchase travel needs. Surveys show that from March 2012 to March 2013, there has been noticed a 54% increase in the number of Facebook mobile users; this increase has also resulted in a surge of people preferring to opt for travel services and products recommended by their friends over social networking sites. Travel service providers are now becoming more active on social network to reach their potent consumer section.

It’s been also observed that people prefer to search, evaluate and book travel services using their mobile devices. Mobile applications are thus a good way to serve consumer section with a value-added service. Mobile applications make it easy for the consumer to search and book travel deals while on the go. Moreover, mobile applications are greatly replacing hotel concierge services.

A discussion about future travel trends would be incomplete without mentioning about mobile devices and portable internet services. From business travelers to leisure seekers, and from honeymooners to adventure explorers, everyone wants to stay connected 24*7. To meet the growing needs of the travelers, hotels are including WiFi services. But an in-property WiFi wouldn’t be sufficient to serve the travelers, who seek internet everywhere they go; thus, in the coming years WiFi portable hotspots are speculated to replace traditional hotel WiFi services.

By the end of 2016, it is expected that 60% of global travel operations would depend on travel technology that not only meets the requirements of the travelers, but lets the service providers minimize the management hassle and maximize their profit margin.

Data Management: Some Important Factors to Understand First

For any organization, whether big, medium or small, much of the business success depends of how efficiently they manage the data. Data management is a broad concept that comprises of several aspects related to handling the data as a valuable resource. In travel industry, the system encompasses a number of aspects including fare management, baggage rules, ancillary product and revenue management and data mining etc. Without a proper operational system, the old saying “the devil is in the details” often turns out to be true in travel industry.
Many businesses outsource the data management operations to other organizations without considering a few factors first. The following are some of the most important aspects related to efficient data management. If you are also thinking to outsource your process, first consider reading the following:

Fare Filing: In travel industry, fare filing is one of the most important processes. For any airline, consolidator, travel company and hotel, the distribution of the fare content is the lifeblood for the business. While half of the process’ success depends on devising the best fares, the other half depends on error free management of the fares and distributing it to the potential consumers. These two steps determine how efficiently the organization will get the market share. Circulating special negotiated fares with accuracy can help attract a greater portion of the existing market. The efficiency of the process also helps organizations avoid revenue leakage.

Baggage Rules: In order to achieve greater revenue margin, airlines have started slashing free baggage allowance. In order to make the process simple, many airlines file the baggage rule/policy directly in ATPCO. Also, the airlines and consolidators can distribute their policies to GDSs, OTAs, departure control and reservation systems, and to other pricing engines. A minor mistake in filing the accurate baggage rule may lead to a huge loss of business and loosing the customer’s trust on the services offered.

Ancillary Revenue: Ancillary revenue is the profit that a service provider earns by offering additional services to the consumers. The profit margin of any travel service provider depends largely on this revenue stream. Airlines, hotels and similar service providers generate ancillary revenue from sources including à la carte features, commission-based products, frequent flier activities and advertising messages sold in or on aircraft. Being one of the most important revenue sources, it is crucial to properly display ancillary products and services to the prospective consumers. Filing the fare with entire ancillary product line is a good idea to attract consumers.

Data Mining: While managing the data is crucial for any business to run smoothly, not every datum is important from the business point of view. It is thus become extremely important to filter the data so that the most useful information can be devices. Data mining is a kind of computer generated data filtration process where experts analyze the existing data from different prospective and finally summarize it to useful information. The fundamental properties of data mining are – automatic discovery of patterns, prediction of likely outcomes, creation of actionable information and focus on large data sets and database. The more accurate your data mining is, the more the chances of business revenue returns.

Though many organization promise to offer an efficient data management solution, it is almost impossible to develop analytical tools for data handling without having a proper knowledge of the organization’s structure and its market.

Travel Tech Trends: Changing the Global Tourism Scenario

Just half-a-decade ago, travel trend watchers used to write articles on how travel technology would change the travel and tourism industry by 2020. Today, after around five years, we can see new technology trends revolutionizing the entire tourism business, helping tour operators, airlines, hospitality business owners and ground transportation providers to expand their business and reach the global market. Many of the advancements are here already and new ones are coming faster than travel marketers have ever thought of. According to the Wall Street Journal’s Middle Seat columnist Scott McCartney, today to find a review of the newly launched travel app is like changing smoke detector batteries.

Apart from the travel service providers, the consumers are also taking advantage of the new technology evolution. For savvy travelers, technology is a stuff of everyday life. After the industry came out of its birth shell of leisure tourism, several new fields started entering the business, creating complications in the operational process. In such a situation, technology is the only way that helps simplify the process. Let’s take a quick look at some of the technology developments that revolutionized the travel industry operations:

Smart Phones: The tidal wave of smart phones with a bundle of features brings about a radical change in the way travelers connect, communicate and collaborate. Researches show that by the end of 2012, the number of travelers carrying smartphones increased to 75% from 50% at the end of 2011. Easily available wireless internet networks made it possible for the globetrotters to search, book and make changes in their travel itinerary on the go with the help of the smart phones and other mobile gadgets.

Travel Apps: In “The Washington Post” journalist Andrea Sachs wrote that these days it’s easy to find companies that don’t have a travel app than the ones that do. Today, mobile applications are transformational platforms and essential tools for the travelers. From the business point of view, these applications help organizations reach their target group and cater them a better service. From comparing itineraries, booking the tour to making changes and cancelling it, travelers can do all these on the go with travel apps. The better the application is, the more it attracts consumers to the business.

Internet Booking Engines: Online reservation systems or internet booking engines brought a real change in the entire operation of hospitality, airlines, travel agency and ground transportation business. Though the aviation industry is the first to introduce this software, today almost every hotel, airline, Rental Company and travel agent uses this reservation tool for maintaining customer data, simplifying booking process, promoting the services and also to minimize the manual errors.

Digital Maps and Guide Apps: Gone are the days when people afraid to visit an unknown place. Today, with the help of digital maps and city guides, people can explore any place and discover the remotest corners of earth. Moreover, the translation apps are also of great use for travelers to converse with other during their journey.

With technology, we can say that travelling is no more a voyage to the unknown. Recent development in travel technology has made the experience smoother and easier for the travelers and this trend is likely to continue its meteoric incline.

Travel Technology: Dominating the Global Tourism Business

Technology has been dominating the entire tourism ecosystems for last few decades and the situation now arises where travel providers are expecting more efficient tools and services from the technology firms. This demand is expected to rise in the succeeding years to come to meet the growing demand of the digital market. Travel technology is one of the most rapidly expanding business segments in the world and market evaluators are expecting this growth to double up in the next 5 years due to new technological innovations; these will make the travel experience more efficient and convenient both for the service providers and for the travelers.

However, the entire idea dwells on how efficiently the technology providers integrate the market needs with their innovations. This puts a challenge before the companies as they now need to think from the view points of both the travelers and the service providers. From the travel agents’ point, modern-day innovations have empowered them with technologies that not only save their time and operational costs, but create a wide scope to reach their customers globally. With the help of customized websites, travel booking engines and bulk e-mailing services, the online travel agents not only double up their business, but are successful to create additional revenue by marketing their custom-made ancillary products and services.

Countries like India, China, Australia, Germany, Malaysia, USA and UK have witnessed a rapid growth in the tourism business in last two decades due to the advancement in internet technologies. The internet has created global platform for cultural exchange, which in turn created interest among travel enthusiasts to explore new destinations, untangle hidden world mysteries and journey across the remotest parts of the world to experience ultimate adventure. The digital platforms advertising different world destinations have succeeded in enticing the modern travelers to instantly plan travel, buy tickets and book accommodation; as a result the hospitality business also witnessed a quick boom.

While travel is the big buzzword these days, maintaining the entire travel process has become more complex for the travel agents, accommodation owners, airline operators and other travel service providers. However, as the competition increased in the market, the technology has improved to a point where it helps businesses to provide best customer experience. It minimizes the risk of information inaccuracy, accelerates the operational time and helps disseminate the information in a better manner.

Technologies like GPS, mobile applications, online booking engines etc. have minimized the hassle for travel consumers also. Now the travelers are empowered to search about different destinations on the web, research over the internet to know about different hotel and travel packages, to do the reservations online and to reschedule their journey as and when they want. This not only saves their time, but makes them get the best deal at market best price.

The improvement and implementation of technology in a business increases its operational efficiency and reduces overall costs, thus increasing the revenue returns in a long run. Travel technology has changed the entire scenario of exploring the world and is bringing more opportunities for the service providers and consumers to get the best out of it.

Social Media Marketing: A Different Perspective

With the advent of internet, digital marketing has taken place the concept of physical marketing. While talking about online marketing strategies, the social media contributions come to the forefront. Today, approximately 9 out of 10 people have their accounts on social sites; thus, for marketers this medium is one of the most important platforms to reach their target group and market their respective products/services in the niche markets. Research shows that around 80% of consumers do research over internet and around 65% of them order products and services online. Moreover, it’s also been found that product/service recommendation on social sites influences the consumers to a large extent and increases the overall sales of the product/service.

While social media is gaining momentum as an important marketing channel, it’s also becoming critical for the experts to understand how this virtual world actually works. So how should marketing professionals approach the potential consumers – by adding fun in their approach? Speaking in everyday, colloquial language? Establishing a more relevant, yet intentionally non-corporate online presence?

All these are partially correct, but one aspect that experts need to understand is the nature of user behavior. There is a phenomenon in linguistics known as “code-switching”; it means to use multiple languages simultaneously in a single conversation. A recent research shows that code-switching has its prevalence and significance on a social and cultural level too.

Even in our everyday life, we use this technique. For example, when we speak to the management authorities or our colleagues, we use a corporate tone; and suddenly if we get a call from our friends or family members, we morph into an entirely different, perhaps seemingly complete different persona. The key here is that though we use different tone while speaking with different people both the tones are inherently ours. A study of code-switching reveals that we not only express different aspects of our personality at different times, these aspects play a great influence on our decision-making process, our preferences and our actions.

While using the social network as a marketing tool, we must consider this very nature of human beings. On social networks we must not assume that when a visitor visits our page, they would instantly react as a corporate person. We must consider that people not act, reach, respond and engage solely as a professional, but as nuanced human being.

However, to connect on a human level doesn’t imply to abandon the marketing objectives. Branding of your product/service and earning good revenue returns much depend on good marketing plans. Thus, creating content keeping in mind the needs, taste and preferences of the user group is the best way to market your product on social networks.

Evaluating the user behavior and creating content according to their taste is the fundamental rule to dominate the social media market. We never say that there is any sure shot formula to get overnight success on social networks; it requires patience and proper planning and of course, the advice of some experts.

With the increasing popularity of smart phones, the demand for mobile applications (apps) has also been increased. Along with various other industries, the tourism sector is also reaping its fruits. Having a mobile application for the organization such as airlines, trains, hotels and tour operators is a great way to stay in touch with the targeted group of customers round the clock.

Travel Technology: Revolutionizing The Way You Travel

Over the last few years, the tourism industry has experienced a rapid boom worldwide. This vast change in the entire tourism scenario has given birth to a relatively new phenomenon, the travel technology market. It is also anticipated that over the next two or three years, the IT technology would fuel major changes in the way people travel from one place to another.

In the general terms, Travel Technology is defined as the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. Earlier, the term was majorly associated with Computer Reservation System (CRS) of the airlines, but now it incorporates a broader tourism sector as well as the hospitality industry.

The tourism industry has been vastly changed with the emergence of globalization. But now the question is how this concept emerged? Many thinkers consider technological developments as the main facilitator and driving force behind most of the globalization processes. From getting the information about different destinations, booking travel packages to receiving the directions to the place, everything have been made so easy, thanks to the developments in the digital communication systems.
