Travel industry... trends for the future (#travel, #reizen, #travel2010)

Recently I gave a presentation at the Erasmus Hogeschool Brussels regarding the travel industry and what the future looks like for the travel & leisure brands.

Key-take-aways:

• travel industry is similar to the HR world, followers of trends and not innovators like FMCG. (not a critic, just a state)
• big challenges ahead like Google ITA, the consumer becomes tour operator, the world has become a very small world, etc.
• technology companies playing tour operator without the technical bounderies the traditional brands have.
• the mobile world is revolutionizing how we experience travelling
