Previous Session
The Changing Travel Consumer
London - 15th July 2009
Technology has been fundamentally changing the way consumers react with brands and companies. And the travel industry has been affected as much if not more than any other industry. Added to this we are in a severe downturn which has further impacted consumer behaviour.
This session of the ThinkTank addressed how the industry is assessing and measuring behavioural change. After a wide free ranging debate and discussion, it produced five key impact outcomes. Read a summary of the meeting here.
