Marketers Insight on e-Travelers |
.
July
25, 2006 - For the third consecutive year, travel consumers who frequently
use the internet to plan and research travel will assist industry technology
marketing professionals at the e-Marketing Insight Conference: Travel and
Tourism Trends (www.emarketinginsightconference.com),
being held August 24 and 25 in Chicago, IL.
The recent survey, featuring an exclusive panel of travel consumers, has reveled new attitudes and opinions toward online travel planning. The panel answered several questions from an online survey covering topics that ranged from web searches to e-mail newsletter subscriptions. Through the survey results, we learned more about how e-travelers searched for travel venues online, what motivates the choices they make and how they perceive e-mail and web promotions The entire survey will be presented at the 2006 e-Marketing Insight Conference: Travel and Tourism Trends (www.emarketinginsightconference.com). Here is a sampling of the results:
�Each time we do this, we learn more about the e-traveler and the evolving process they go through when researching travel information and content,� said Dave Serino, e-Strategist for Gammet Interactive(www.gammet.com) and conference founder. �Collecting this type of data gives us an opportunity to identify any emerging trends relating to the travel and tourism industry.
