*** ITB Berlin’s new Travel & Tourism Radar: How is the travel-industry tackling transformation ? Set up in partnership with Ostfalia Hochschule and the World’s Leading Travel Trade Show, the new tool analyses the business outlook in the travel industry and reveals external factors as the main forces driving digitalisation and sustainability efforts. The most frequent response was the political and economic situation, including inflation, given by around 62 per cent. (Digital) marketing and product development was the second most frequent answer (54 per cent), followed by AI and digitalisation (51 per cent). Sustainability and the climate were similarly frequent responses.   All the results of the Travel & Tourism Radar and information on the methods used can be downloaded online.

Exciting News Alert! 📣 Happy to share our latest research together with Valentina Pitardi, Jochen Wirtz and Werner Kunz is now published in Tourism Management! 📝 Our study exmines the fascinating world of service robots in tourism and hospitality settings, exploring their impact on consumer discomfort and metaperception processing. 🔍 Across five experimental studies, we uncovered the powerful role of service robots in reducing customers' metaperception processing, ultimately alleviating discomfort in various service interactions. From returning a dish in a restaurant to late-night room service requests, our research highlights how service robots can positively shape consumer experiences. 🍽️🛎️ 💡 Key insights include: - Service robots' perceived low level of mind leads to reduced metaperception processing. - Consumer outcomes show more favorable attitudinal and behavioral responses, including increased satisfaction, engagement, and revisit intentions. - Surprisingly, the degree of anthropomorphic robot appearance does not affect metaperception. 🌟 These findings offer both theoretical understanding and practical implications for the successful integration of service robots into hospitality environments, paving the way for enhanced customer experiences and operational efficiency. 💼✨ 🔗 Read the full article and dive deeper into the fascinating intersection of technology and hospitality #TourismManagement #ServiceRobots #HospitalityIndustry #CustomerExperience #Research #Innovation #Technology #ConsumerBehavior #FutureofTourism #HospitalityTech https://lnkd.in/e5rKU2MJ

Back to the basics! Humanity needs fresh ideas and a new type of politics, representing mankind as a whole instead of fragmented political interests! We have to grow together in order to urgently address the issues that impact all of us like conflict, climate change, inequality and forced migration together. This we can only do without any dominance, as equals. Collectively in Solidarity. www.convergence.ngo & www.pax.ngo

Travellers who have booked travel services such as hotel-only, transfer-only or holiday car-only via the insolvent tour operators FTI Touristik GmbH, BigXtra Touristik GmbH and other FTI GROUP offshoots receive clarity: FTI is cancelling the vast majority of these one-thing-only services. #fti #ftigroup #cancellations #insolvency #travel #fvwtraveltalk

A number of travel agencies use the Amadeus Bistro Portal price comparison and offer system for hotel-only searches, but then book the stays via other computer reservation systems such as BEWOTEC GmbH or Sabre Corporation. Ljiljana Budalic from Amadeus Leisure IT is now addressing concerns that this might no longer work in the future. #amadeus #bistroportal #sellingplatformconnect #travelagencies #traveltech

✅A big-time (business) relationship green flag… 🌟 As you might know, I make my living mostly by judging people—not in a bad way, but with networkx GmbH and networkx.services we curate potential members for exclusive clubs, guest lists for exclusive events, jury members for prestigious awards, ambassadors, shortlists of award candidates and more. Partially, the curation is done manually, but for example, for my startup and some of our customers, we also translate hard and soft requirements into tech (AI)🤖 What I’ve learned is that it’s not just the criteria that matter but also their order. By applying criteria, you create a funnel. It’s similar to dating: imagine you want to date a blonde, 1.70m, blue-eyed person with a certain hobby, salary, etc. Your pool might get very small, and you might end up with an okay person with a so-so suitable character for you. However, if you apply character criteria first and then look at those who pass and find reasonably attractive, you are much more likely to end up with a better fit partner. You might laugh and think it’s obvious, but the first way is often how decisions are made in recruiting, member curation, guest list curation, etc. You all know the results…😅 The best results come when you focus on people who have a good heart. You might ask, how do I know? One good indicator and big green flag is if the person believes in the good in others. It doesn’t mean that these people haven’t experienced hardship or disappointment, but they haven’t allowed it to create resentment, bitterness, or use it as an excuse to turn into a negative person💗 Look for good people first, and then consider your other criteria. You don’t want someone who matches all your criteria but can ruin a whole community. Choose wisely and surround yourself with those who uplift and inspire. 💪✨ #BusinessRelationships #Leadership #Vibes #CommunityBuilding . . . 📸: Taken at lovely Global Female Leaders - Changemaker Forum (NFT Skybar)🌆

Question to our fantastic panelists 👏👏👏 Karin Stierlin, taboobreaker association Rebeca Revenga Becedas, IAMANEH Schweiz I Suisse, Selina Baumberger, Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit, Dr. Venkatraman Chandra-Mouli 👇 ❗ Sustainability is an ever-occurring challenge. How can we reach #sustainability and scale in our innovative #SRHR projects?   Here are some of the reflections: 👉 Engaging and building trust within communities, involve and strengthening collaborations with researchers, local partners, civil society and stakeholders and be aware that this is a lot of work and takes time. 👉 Reaching sustainability is a step-by-step process especially with delicate topics like #SRHR education. You need to listen to the #adolescents and to reiterate time after time. 👉 You need a long-term vision, but on the other side you should always have in mind that contexts are changing constantly and we need to be flexible to adapt to a new context 👉 Be self-critical and reflect after each phase of your project what are the positive and what are the negative lessons learned. 👉 Changing attitudes needs a long time and to be effective we need to be in a region for a long term. But on the other hand, we are bound to funding systems that don’t operate that way. We need to advocate for an understanding that if we want to make things happen we have to work in a region more than just 1-4 years.   ➡ Are we ready to learn from our failures? We all failed. Can we get to talking about it? ➡ Are we ready to kill these innovations that don’t work? #AYSRHR #SRHR4All #ICPD30 #GlobalGoals #SRH #SRHR #youthvoices #SRHRmatters #youthmatters #GBV #Genderbasedviolence #digitalviolence #mentalhealth #childmarriage, #girlsrights & #youthdevelopment #TeenagePregnancies

📊 A world first in pilot phase: Tirol Werbung 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. The new system aims to provide real-time, day-specific forecasts of tourism demand, occupancy, and accommodation prices. Developed and extensively tested over the past one and a half years in collaboration with the company HQ revenue, the system underwent a detailed internal trial before being handed over to the 34 Tyrolean tourism associations (TVBs) for evaluation and feedback. "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘺𝘦𝘵", says Tirol Werbung Managing Director Karin Seiler. "𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮, 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴.

The system consists of two main products: • The 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗧𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗹, designed for accommodation providers. • 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, which allows TVBs to conduct analyses at the regional level. The system is designed to help tourism associations identify low-demand periods and implement measures such as events to attract additional visitors and increase revenue. Seasonal fluctuations can also be better anticipated through the integration of weather forecasts and event calendars. A benchmarking feature enables precise comparisons of current trends against previous years or other associations.
