Source 1: Future of Travel Industry, Tourism, Hotels, Hospitality and Business Travel

 This news media source has a video that plays that shows he future of hotels, airlines,

and travel agents. The travel industry continues to be vulnerable to major shocks-

politically, global economy, environment, or other factors ranging from volcanic

eruptions. Business travel is heard to grow every year over the next 20-30 years.

There is expected for people by themselves to organize their own travel. Travel is

about emotion and experience, building trust with business colleagues. The emotion

is about understanding local culture context; relating to each customer in a deep way.

o Improving business traveller customer experience is an important thing for

this business. Hotels and airlines have a poor understanding of what its really

like to be a business person on the go. Most need the web access when on the

go, because they need to work while just sitting. On the way home, they will

most likely want a flat bed, quiet and great food and drink. Hotels need to

provide more technological in rooms and also more supplies. For example,

like an iron and ironing board. Free Wi-Fi does matter when dealing with any

clients.

Source 2: New report to help guide future Tourism Distribution Strategy

 This article has a story that is the findings of a comprehensive review of how

Australian tourism product is distributed internationally have been published by

Tourism Australia and its state and territory tourism partners. Quoted by the

managing director; Andrew McEvoy, “We recognize this fact and that’s at the heart

of this review to ensure we are doing our job in most efficient and effective way

possible.”

o The project that is involved that has more than 60 travel agents, wholesalers,

inbound tour operators, online agents and direct sellers. Holiday travelers

book 46% of their trips online prior to arrival and 54% users are now using a

wider range of sources. This article is mainly about Australia and the kinds of

travelers that make their way there.

Source 3: A Positive Future for Tourism

 The downturns in consumer confidence have dropped quickly in tourism arrivals, as

evidenced by 4% decline. The next year it went up 2%, but more recently the industry

has demonstrated strength in accelerating emerging economies and demographic

shifts. The importance for governments to promote the attractiveness of destinations

must be highly looked on and not over looked; this is what brings in more money and

more people to see these places.

o The future of the tourism industry is positive. Besides a quiet consumer

backdrop, travel is something that consumers will not forego so easily. They

are made to promote destinations for international boundaries. This will

extend the places for consumers to go. Hospitality is everywhere.

Discussion:

o I believe that these three topics are extremely similar. We were supposed to find articles

that discussed Tourism’s Future from chapter 20. I found all of my sources from the

Internet, but they all were about the topic. The first one really talks about airlines and

hotels and how it affects each business traveler or any traveler in general. This article was

very spot on and gave lots of information regarding airlines and hotels. The workers at

the time when people are hardcore traveling just need to know the cliental and everything

should run smoothly. The next article really covered Australian tourism and the projects

that are involved there. They try to do any job efficient and effective, and I think with any

hospitality business. Near or far, should be doing this kind of job. We are here to please

people and that is a very easy and great way to do it. For the last article that I covered it

was over a positive future for tourism. Traveling In this era is not going to stop or slow

down it will only go up and bring in more money than before. We live in an era that

promotes traveling and change and who doesn’t want to go some place besides what they

see every single day. This article is made to promote business for international use, so

guest will travel out of the country and get to see what is internationally. These three

articles really cover what was to be asked of, and I enjoyed learning different verities of

information from hospitality.
