Mobile Travel Research Statistics

travel research

I have just completed a round road-trip if from Sydney to Melbourne back to Sydney over the Christmas Holiday period.  It made me realise that many travel and tourism operators are still NOT mobile optimised.  I also noticed this in the USA a few months ago.  It drives me crazy. Imagine what it it is doing to your customers. Google will now penalise your website if it is not mobile friendly.  So this means, if your competitor is mobile friendly and you are not, your competitor will be presented before you, no matter how fancy your site is on … [Read more...]

by Bronwyn White Leave a Comment

Google Micromoments & Airbnb Hosted Walks - At MyTravelResearch.com, we talk a lot about taking insight to action.  It is much easier said than done and is a skill that takes years to acquire.  It is one of those things that as a researcher and marketing strategist, you learn on the job.  They don't teach you this stuff at university or college.   We know that companies can spend thousands of dollars on market research.  In fact, some governments spend millions on tourism research.  Unfortunately in many instances, we do not see the … [Read more...]

travel research

I travelled all the way from Australia to Los Angeles this week for a little work and pleasure mixed together.  It is always good to do both when you can.  And as travel researchers, I can honestly say that there is never a time that Carolyn and I are not on the job - even when we are on holiday. As a travel industry professional, you would know that the job tends to extend to ongoing verbal commentary and analysis to those travelling with you.  Service critiques and inspection of all manner of tourism product and service delivery along the … [Read more...]

by Bronwyn White 6 Comments

Senior Tourism - Did you know, that in our life time, we will never see another demographic that has as much disposable cash to spend and as much free time than our current seniors? Between us at MyTravelResearch.com, we have interviewed, researched and 'studied' thousands of seniors and their travelling habits. How they plan, their pain points, what excites them. They have big dreams and a bucket list to smash. Yet, I still see the travel industry not really taking them seriously.  Still talking to cringe-worthy stereotypes that … [Read more...]

Connect With The Right Content At The Right Time.

by Bronwyn White Leave a Comment

Tourism research

As a tour operator, hotel or destination, there are many ways to connect to your customer on their path to purchase.  Nearly all leisure travel begins with online search. Consequently, online content is more effective than traditional marketing such as brochures and advertising. At each step of the path to purchase the best way to connect with your customer is therefore through inspiring and engaging content – a combination of images, words, stories and video. Remember this, a traveller needs to minimise the risk associated with the decision … [Read more...]

Well there are several reasons.First, National Tourism Organisations (NTOs) often do not have the resource to take the market research process one step further and distribute the findings to regional tourism organisations and the local travel industry. Full reports and findings are often lengthy and in a … [Read more...]
