Summer is the peak season for #tourism, a hectic time for companies in the industry that need to manage an increased flow of customers and ensure a flawless experience. In this scenario, I believe that the use of innovative software solutions proves to be a valuable ally in improving the #customerexperience and standing out from the competition. In fact, investing in cutting-edge technology not only improves operational efficiency, but also enables you to: ☑️ Deliver flawless, personalized service; ☑️ Create an emotional connection with your customers; ☑️ Make travel a memorable and safe experience. By embracing #innovation, tourism companies can turn summer, the busiest travel season, into an opportunity to retain customers, attract new ones and strengthen their position in the market. #netstorming #traveltech #software 

This was such a fantastic lineup for a #sustainabletravel discussion I moderated at Phocuswright Europe. It focused heavily on finding a balance between high economic yields from tourism and livability for locals (not an issue we'll solve overnight, but one our leaders are thinking critically about). I am also proud to announce that this helped me accomplish my super secret goal of reducing the degrees of connection between myself and Prince Harry. Top takeaways from each panelist: - Sally Davey of Travalyst: Embracing the pillars of good communication is absolutely fundamental, or tourists will not understand the broader impact of their choices. - Mateu Hernandez Maluquer of Consorci de Turisme de Barcelona: Marketers need to encourage travelers to see their choices as investments, with all the mindfulness (and care for a product) that investments entail. We live in a world where people put more research into buying a $1000 iPhone than where they go with their $1000 plane ticket. - Shannon Guihan of the The Travel Corporation: Tourism isn't meant to just "happen" to a place. Managers and stakeholders need to co-create their model -- and they will see early warning signs of issues and opportunities to correct in more collaborative environments. https://lnkd.in/ePWXAWPT
