Travel Industry attitude towards mobile

“How I see mobile working to the advantage of Travel Companies:

“The ability to be in real time connection with consumers at any time or place and provide access to relevant information.”

“To be able to identify additional touch points which may lead to sales and incremental revenue. ”

Improve content• Connect better by providing

relevant information on-demand along multiple touch points in the guest experience.

Bringing the mobile opportunity on-site

Leveraging the consumer’s own web-enabled mobile phone, hospitality businesses can:

Communicate • Connect better by promoting on-

site amenities and group interaction, proactively and interactively driving additional bookings and revenue where it’s needed most.
