  • Of the total number of customers having noticed the screen, only a relatively small proportion also reports having noticed the ad itself (cf. H2). Likewise, of these participants having noticed the ad, only a proportion is able to recognize (H3) or recall (H4) the specific ad content. Finally, of those who are able to recall the ad, only a proportion reports PI (H5) or actually did purchase the promoted product

  • In many cases, e-marketing has become an essential ingredient to an existing or potential business enterprise related to the tourism and hospitality industry.
  • AR technology is a reality simulation by computer-generated visuals where a user can experience a reality in a virtually created environment. AR brings two widely diverse dynamics: personal exclusivity perception and a sensory experience that is commonly multidimensional.

GDS Hospitality Hotel Industry

shared by carlatj on 17 Sep 20 - No Cached
  • Did you know you could book a flight, tour operator, car rental or hotel room in real-time via electronic GDS systems since the 1960s? You may be thinking, “hmm… online travel agencies like Expedia and Booking.com aren’t that old, are they?” But years before the OTAs gained prominence, global distribution systems provided real-time access to hotel and flight inventory for travel agent service providers across the world. 
  • Does the GDS still serve a purpose when travelers can easily book directly with the airline or hotel? In many cases, yes, the GDS still delivers value, especially for airlines and corporate travel companies. Airlines still distribute their inventory to OTAs via the GDS, and corporate travel planners continue to use the GDS to find corporate rates.
  • The GDS industry has come a long way since the 60s; while Sabre is still a major player, several GDS companies operate today. The major global distribution systems for travel reservations include: Amadeus is the world’s largest GDS, accounting for about 40% of GDS transactions, and it’s especially popular in Europe. Though many of these reservations are for airfare, it’s still a powerful tool for hotels, with over 600,000 hotels connected. Sabre is the second-largest GDS, accounting for about 35% of travel agency bookings. Around 175,000 hotels are connected to Sabre, but its portfolio in North America is larger than its competitors. Travelport GDS  owns systems called Galileo, Worldspan, and Apollo. Travelsky is a state-run GDS in China.
