Online Travel Agencies 2Q and 1H12: International Markets Thrown a Curveball | PhoCusWright Conference | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it
From www.phocuswright.com - October 23, 2012 9:41 AM
The second quarter of 2012 was challenging for U.S. public online travel agencies (OTAs) - Expedia, Orbitz and Priceline. Domestic business proved resilient for most, but growth from overseas operations was muted across the board. Although international markets have been a boon to OTAs in recent years, headwinds from weakened travel demand in Europe couldn't be avoided

La mobilité vient jouer les trouble-fête dans les modèles établis | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it
From veilletourisme.ca - October 23, 2012 3:12 AM

Depuis deux ans, l’Internet mobile se développe de manière exponentielle. On estime même que d’ici 2015, la majorité des connexions se feront par l’intermédiaire d’un appareil mobile. En France, les territoires ont massivement investi dans le développement des applications et des sites mobiles, et cette tendance se poursuit. Au premier trimestre 2011, on recensait 15 000 applications dans la catégorie Voyages de l’Apple Store. Plus de 600 applications sont consacrées aux territoires en France, dont une centaine éditées par les offices de tourisme ainsi que les comités départementaux et régionaux du tourisme. Par Jean-Luc Boulin (http://www.etourisme.info/author/jlb) et Philippe Fabry (http://www.etourisme.info/author/pfabry)

French hoteliers voice concern about OTA business practices | Tnooz

French hoteliers voice concern about OTA business practices | Tnooz | eTourism Trends and News | Scoop.it
From www.tnooz.com - October 22, 2012 4:55 PM
oteliers are often frustrated by the significant fees charged for bookings via OTAs. The trend among many hotels is to do whatever it takes to encourage more direct bookings that circumvent the OTA system – RoomKey being one of the most recent well-organized examples.

Other than pull inventory or redouble inbound marketing efforts, what can hoteliers do to push back against the OTAs?

One hospitality industry veteran has taken to the Web to publicly gripe about the OTA situation on French travel industry website Hospitality-On.

In a series of articles, Georges Panayotis wrote about the “tense partnership” between hotels and OTAs, and received such a supportive response from hoteliers that he decided to create an online petition for hoteliers to express their frustration with the current model.

Dans notre contexte économique mondial de développement accéléré du tourisme international, alors que l’OMT annonce 1000 milliards de dollars de recettes en 2011, deux notions économiques prégnantes dans le tourisme peuvent désormais être lues différemment: la première est celle du cycle du voyageur, la deuxième concerne le marketing de l’offre et de la demande. La raison de ce changement de paradigme en revient à l’Internet de séjour.
