First Party Data + Third Party Data = Magic
16:45 - 18:00
The travel industry has never lacked data. Airlines, hotels, car rental and cruise companies have all been generating data sets too large for conventional applications for decades. The difference now is that storage capacity, data mining and analytics tools are far more powerful and increasingly affordable. Specialized data companies have emerged to help brands make sense of their own data and cross-reference it against other (third-party) data sets. These new developments allow travel managers to understand their data, against the data available on the whole horizon.
