1. Planning
A lot of planning, inspiration and booking starts on mobile

But mobile isn’t as hard as it looks
![Page 7: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
There are goals...
EngageInteract and communicate to turn
interest into bookings
Servicecore info, loyalty, assist as to get

Mobile is “just” another channel. So it’s not a product to push in itself, it’s a service rendered

Trends:How will mobile impact travel
![Page 11: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1: On-the-go becomes bigger, most of these late bookings will be made on
mobile
For hotels already 65% of late bookings are via mobile, for flights 15%.
Las Vegas already gets 30% of all bookings from mobile.
Biggest days are Fri-Sat, so it’s weekend trips
People will travel less prepared, with shorter notice.
Their discovery, planning and booking moves to mobile.
![Page 12: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2: Your most important job becomes to provide internet
Unbiased validation, reviews, user generated content, word of mouth and social becomes even more important.
Therefore, it must be possible to share everywhere, instantly!
![Page 13: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
maps
3: Maps become a communication platform
Because people want contextual information they navigate and research
via the maps
Google and Apple maps becomes place to find opening hours, links and prices
Social geo networks like Yelp, Foursquare, Everplaces become more used to filter info
Exact location inside buildings now possible
Commerce moves to maps
![Page 14: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
4: Service and problems are helped immediately, on
location via mobile
Inform as the problem happens, cancellations, delays, waiting times
Rebooking and in trouble assistance directly in app
Advanced notifications, contextual and geo; like happy hour, event notifications, deals
Improved service due to mobile, like at Starbucks
![Page 15: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
5: Payments become easy, and we pay for different things
Pay with mobile is now almost ready for mainstream
Order food and drink without waiting for the waitress
Mobile purchase to jump the queue at attractions, cinemas, etc. Check-in on mobile, all is ready as you get there
Less margin on hotel and attractions so up-sell becomes important; tours, rental, spa, practical, restaurant
Premium on time: book hotel only during day, late checkout
![Page 16: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
6: More authentic and detailed communication
Advertising must be served together with UGC to provide trusted information, people
no longer trust unqualified statements
You won’t only book room type, but also floor plan, position at hotel, see pictures of all
details
![Page 17: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1) New paradigm: DMOs become more content curators than content creators
2) More flexible IT systems and providers
Here are some hacks...
Short cuts to an effective digital presence
![Page 18: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Technology should not be a burden, but a help!Choose IT suppliers who are flexible. It’s now common with several tech providers. Optimal scenario is for systems to be integrated, so everything is automatic.
Bring dynamic info into your site:
- Feeds into apps and website from streams, Instagram, Twitter. Now possible to get admin power to delete undesirable images.
- Embeds of content and ratings from external content providers. Should be automatically updated.
![Page 19: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
App pulls in automatic feed from an Instagram hashtag.
New: It’s now possible to build a filter function so you can delete undesirable images.
![Page 20: Mobile Trends 2014 for Travel and Tourism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042713/540e47c28d7f72767e8b4c81/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Optimize content already made, spread it.- Widgets: Send into partner websites Make your content collections available making widgets they can embed. Great to spread the word and for partners to take responsibility.
- Widgets: Turn into interactive displays Rather than investing in expensive on-destination solutions, use iPads and projectors to showcase maps and information. Can be done by partners too.
- Integration: Send directly into apps. Like Everplaces integration with TellUs/ New Mind so apps talk directly to database
All the above can be combined with blogs to make quick and dirty campaign landing pages.

Interactive display, controllable by a mouse

Widget shows content from Everplaces on blogger’s own WordPress blog
Could also be on a website, and display places by image.

Be mobile on others’ pages and apps- Other people’s apps: Be included in event apps, supply content to partner apps (ferries, campsites, hotels), and NTOs.
When should you make own apps? ‣ Info that only you would share‣ Core local information, not out there‣ Brand control
- Location based networks: Key priority this year is Apple and Google Maps. Other sources that are often fed to multiple sites are Facebook, Foursquare, Yelp, TomTom
