The 2009 Travolution Summit


I am very much forward to attending tomorrows Travolution's summit in which the main players of the industry get together to discuss the future and recent happenings within the online travel sphere. This is a first for me as I will be part of the blogger delegation a new feature for this years show, but as you can see my blogging is not exactly prolific, so this will be good practice :)
This UK event will be the 2nd of Travolution's involvement with the highly revered PhoCusWright group, and with a guest of speakers from banks, airlines, GDS companies to new/recent start-ups it should provide a fascinating journey of the current health and expectations of an industry which despite the current financial climate, continues to adjust and improve to needs of the millions of travellers who will more that half this year will book their holiday/trip online, compared to only a third just a couple of years ago.
The challenge now for the industry is to provide this in a more user friendly cohesive and combined way thus enabling the future of travel and its natural partner mobile, to provide new possibilities for deciding, planning, booking, going, doing and sharing the travel experience. For me, tomorrow will be an experience, and one which I can only do my best to share with you... whoever you are :)
