The Micro-Tripper. - Monday, 25th July 2011 at 4Hoteliers Short-term, purely spontaneous travel enabled by the flash-sale, group buying, and private-travel sale start-ups, the new leisure travel market segment on the rise. In October at T4, I published, “Is the new, private-sale travel site business model the real deal? an in-depth look, into the new social e-commerce start-ups, their business model and how the deals get structured. As an active online travel business consultant in the new social e-commerce travel space (flash-travel sales), I am confirming, that yes, this new business model is the real deal and is starting to create market share. The woman in the family leads the spontaneous micro-tripper. The spontaneous micro-tripper is not an OTA buyer (the pre-planned travel market). The key difference between an OTA buyer and the Micro-Tripper buyer is the pre-planned purchase vs. the spontaneous purchase. I have relationships with over 100 directors of sales and revenue managers at many of the major hotels and resorts in North America.

Travel Warnings & Safety Since 1985 - World Travel Watch Ypartnership study reveals credibility gap among leisure travelers In today's evolving search for trusted sources of information about destinations and travel service suppliers, there are clear differences in credibility ascribed by the different generational groups. It's common knowledge that younger members of our society consume media differently than their older counterparts. Message credibility also varies by medium across each of the major generational clusters, however, as revealed in the Ypartnership/Harrison Group 2011 Portrait of American Travelers(SM). This is particularly true when it comes to the use of online information sources. When considering vacation destinations, input from family and friends still holds the most weight among all consumer groups, regardless of age. Interestingly, Xers (33-46 years of age) are more likely than Millennials or Boomers (47-65 years of age) to trust information on the website of an online travel agency (63 percent) such as Expedia or Travelocity.

Setting the agenda for Australian travel agents | Travel Weekly Expert Flyer Free Account Offers Seat Alerts-But Do They Work? You probably know about ExpertFlyer from some of our past posts on using ExpertFlyer to find award availability, and may already subscribe to its premium service, which costs $99/year. Today they announced a free account, where you can set up a basic seat alert, so I decided to take it for a test drive. Since I don't already have an ExpertFlyer account, I went to the home page and clicked on "Learn More" to read more about the seat alerts. I was especially interested to read that you could set an alert for an exit row seat with a free account: I then signed up, which was pretty simple, got an email with confirmation link which I clicked on, then logged in. While I don't currently have a pressing need for a seat alert, I decided to test alerts for Continental's EWR-HNL flight, since I knew the flight number for that one having recently booked it as an award. I first tried out Economy, and maybe it's just me, but I couldn't see any options for creating a basic alert.
Why games can work for travel brands: Traveler IQ, four years on A fair amount of chatter at conferences these days is around the idea of adding some form of gaming into the online travel experience, as a way of engaging further with users. The concept of gaming is typically spoken of in the same breath as monster hits such as the Facebook-based Farmville and Mafia Wars, both created by Zynga. But while both of these are relatively new products, one of the first hugely successful, social media-led and Facebook-hosted games was a travel-related effort. And now, over four years on since its launch, Traveler IQ still manages to attract hundreds of thousands of players every single month. The game was a simple product created in 2007 by Travelpod, a travel blogging platform which been acquired by Expedia the year before and was now sat within the TripAdvisor stable of brands. In short: users had to pinpoint the location of a city by planting flags on a map, getting higher scores for accuracy and speed. And that is pretty much what happened.
