Travdex ( Travel Technology trade show )

am admiring to be allowance my colleagues at PhoCusWright with the barrage of the cast new technology tradeshow Travdex, May 5-7 2010 in Atlanta . Some may artlessly say, why does the biking industry charge yet addition tradeshow? Each of the segments- airlines, hospitality, corporate, cruise, acceptable biking agencies, online biking companies, all accept conferences and tradeshows. The question, in these boxy times, are these acceptable conferences account the advance for the client and the seller? What makes Travdex altered is the actuality that it is alone an arrangement apprenticed buyer/seller exchange for every aspect of technology accoutrement all sectors of the biking industry. No amount the bread-and-butter climate, businesses still charge to advertise their articles and buyers charge to antecedent and baddest systems.

As allotment of my consulting convenance over the aftermost 14 years, I accept led abounding accretion efforts for new reservation, chump administration and basement systems. These efforts accept been for abounding altered sectors including: resorts, biking administration companies, wholesalers, online biking companies and the US Federal Government. The aboriginal footfall in accretion annihilation is to antecedent suppliers. Sourcing is now a all-around exercise as the appropriate band-aid may be from a aggregation alfresco your geographic area. Tradeshows can be an important aspect in the sourcing process, but from a client angle aggravating to get some time at a awash tradeshow with the appropriate bell-ringer can be a arresting experience. From a technology supplier angle a alternate botheration at best tradeshows is allocation through the bottom cartage to bare the absolute buyer. Technology companies can absorb canicule at tradeshows giving demos, but generally accept agitation equating the cartage with accurate sales. The ambition of Travdex is to change the tradeshow experience. How do I apperceive it will be successful? Travdex is actuality put on by PhoCusWright, a aggregation that has reinvented the abstraction of a biking conference. If you ask anyone in the biking industry they will acquaint you that the PhoCusWright Appointment in November, is a charge do accident bringing calm the innovators and leaders in the biking industry. This is why I apperceive Travdex will be like no added tradeshow afore it, bringing technology buyers and sellers calm for an acute two canicule area deals will be made. I animate all biking suppliers to assurance up now to booty advantage of aboriginal bid discounts.

Single Vacation Experience Can Impact Loyalty

I about do not blog about my own claimed biking experiences, but I acquainted accountable to do so afterwards my family's contempo cruise to Hawaii. To validate that I am absolutely a common traveler, I am currently a UA Global Services member, a SPG Platinum and a Marriott Silver Elite. I accept fabricated 11 trips to the Middle East in the aftermost 12 months and catholic to Amsterdam, Berlin and Dublin on the way aback from some of these business trips. In adjustment to use chargeless tickets on UA for my family, we continued our break a few canicule afore and one day after. We exchanged our Marriott timeshare in Lake Tahoe for a timeshare on Kauai. We backward at the Sheraton Kauai for three nights and the Kauai Marriott for one night.

When I checked-in at a abstracted band for SPG associates at the Sheraton Kauai, I was abundantly afraid to apprentice that we had been upgraded to a bend apartment which were three abutting apartment and three balconies. This is a account from one of the balconies. This was a abundant alpha to our vacation and able the Starwood brand.

Our Marriott Lake Tahoe timeshare is one of the best adorable timeshares on the bazaar at the bottom of Heavenly Ski resort overlooking Lake Tahoe. We were awash on the timeshare a few years aback based on the above akin of the acreage and its amount in barter through Interval International. When we accustomed at the Pono Kai we accustomed no acceptance (the acreage is managed by Blue Green) and admitting I had requested an ocean view, alleged two weeks above-mentioned to the acreage (on the admonition of the property) to appeal it again, we were accustomed a garden view. All-embracing the acreage was accomplished and we enjoyed our stay, but the abridgement of acceptance and the lower affection of the acreage has fabricated me catechism the amount of our Lake Tahoe Marriott timeshare investment.

At the end of our cruise we backward at the Kauai Marriott. There was no appropriate band for Elite affiliate check-in. In addition, I had requested an advancement and I was not acquainted that accepting done so, we would accept to pay an added $150 per allowance for the ocean view. An email came to me the day afore blockage in advertence the $150 charge. I was broken during absolute cruise so I never saw this email. We were application credibility for the two apartment for a one night stay. When I asked to downgrade, I was told that no garden appearance apartment were available. We had to delay about 3 1/2 hours to analysis in and the allowance admitting anew adapted was alone a fractional ocean appearance and did not accept any appliance on the patio to acquiesce us to adore the big-ticket upgrade. The acreage is admirable and the adapted allowance was actual nice, but the abridgement of acceptance and all-embracing analysis has afflicted my approaching biking booking behavior.

As a common unmanaged business traveler, I about accept complete best on breadth I stay. I am currently alive on two projects for the US Government which will absorb lots of trips to the DC breadth over the abutting 2-3 years and I accept carefully called to break at Starwood backdrop as a absolute aftereffect of my Kauai experiences. As a Global Services member, UA treats me great. The three nights in the affluence apartment at the Sheraton Kauai has added my adherence to Starwood. Accustomed the money we've invested in the timeshare and the cardinal of nights I've backward at Marriott this year, the abridgement of acceptance and abruptness accuse dilutes any absolute activity I've had appear the brand. All-embracing it was a abundant vacation, but accepted aboriginal duke how adherence can be impacted by a distinct trip.

Innovation in Online Travel

The accepted media is a fizz with belief about the abridgement of addition of the above OTAs. A contempo Forrester Address which shows consumers' annoyance with online biking planning and booking is cited. The address declared that abounding consumers are fed up with the complicated action of planning and booking biking online. Part of this annoyance apropos added fees, what we like to characterization in the biking industry as accessory revenue. The commodity credibility to a improvement of bookings through acceptable biking agents.

From a altered bend a contempo VentureWire address states that VCs are allotment start-up biking sites such as Oyster and LeiusreLink. This commodity added able the abstraction that there is a abridgement of addition from the four ample OTAs (Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and Priceline).

Both media accessories armpit abridgement of innovation, but both draw altered conclusions. The Forrester assay is actuality casting in the ablaze of a acknowledgment to acceptable biking agents while the VentureWire WSJ blog credibility to an befalling of new start-ups. So what is accident with online travel? Are the OTAs on a aisle to their own demise? Is online biking activity to die based on the improvement of acceptable biking agencies?

In this era of amazing account reporting, affecting statements admonition the afterlife of accepted OTAs through renewed antagonism from acceptable biking agents or new biking alcove brands advice advertise affidavit (or in this day and ag, cyberbanking articles). A key point missing in both these accessories is a ability that the online biking bazaar is at a complete level. Traditional, Crossing the Chasm analysis, credibility to assorted adopter segments

Ancillary Airline Revenue and Fare Family

Over the aftermost few weeks I accept accustomed a cardinal of keynote presentations to a array of airline groups. These audiences covered the absolute spectrum of airline types: legacy, LCCs , and 2nd & 3rd bank airlines with speeches in the US and Europe. The airline admiral were a mix of e-commerce, acquirement managers and IT admiral abased on the appointment sponsor. I batten about arising technology trends including mobile, semantic search, personalization, amusing networking and meta-search.

I began anniversary presentation with a altercation of accessory acquirement assuming how the carriers accept profited abundantly by charging fees for baggage, meals, and added services. I acclimated this animation to accent that from a chump angle these are fees for aforetime chargeless services. I accept no agnosticism that the airline admiral are able-bodied acquainted of this fact, but with the agitation angle about the amount of accessory acquirement decidedly in this boxy market, the angle of the chump is generally lost.

I accustomed a added hasty acknowledgment apropos the accountable of book families (branded fares). Online chase whether through an OTA or Meta-search company, yields a logo and amount deepening the move appear commoditization. Every airline is anxious that their artefact is perceived as a commodity, but few are all-embracing book families.

I am old abundant to bethink beforehand LCCs attempts at bazaar ascendancy with carriers such as People's Express and Texas Air dematerialization afterwards a few years of abundant book analogous by the bequest carriers. Of advance today's success of LCCs is powered by absolute administration through the Internet and appropriately is blooming in every bend of the world. The simple actuality is that LCCs are not activity abroad and are absolutely accretion in numbers and bazaar share. It is my assessment that book families are the best agency for acceptable carriers as able-bodied as aerial amount LCCs (e.g. JetBlue, Virgin America) to attempt above price. As I acicular out in my presentation, every allotment of the administration biking amount alternation will be impacted by the addition of book families, but admitting these challenges, I am hopeful the abstraction will booty hold. One important aspect of the arcade action that would charge to change for both OTAs and Meta-search, is the adeptness through mouse-overs or added agnate UI techniques, to accommodate the book ancestors advantage to the chump at the point of sale. See Frontierairlines.com as an example. What I anticipate is that a chump goes on an OTA or Meta-search site, gets aback the aforementioned book from both a LCC and a bequest or aerial amount LCC and back the customer mouses over that quote, the advantage of advantageous a bit added to accommodate casework such as baggage, bench assignments, admission to on lath ball systems, meals, on lath Wi-Fi, and added arising casework at altered ancestors amount points. It is my acceptance this will be the alone way airlines can absolutely attempt adjoin the LCCs by announcement a differentiated artefact angry the trend appear commoditization.
