    "Quick Take Growth in hotel shoppers and increase in international traffic led to a 20% increase in 2012 revenues and a 23% y-o-y increase in Q4 2012 revenues. Traffic on TripAdvisor increased by 45% y-o-y. We estimate the user base to further expand in the future. More than 30% growth in hotel shoppers led to a 24% y-o-y increase in click-based revenues. With more than 75% growth in traffic, Asia-Pacific was one of the fastest growing markets. Increasing investment in social & mobile platforms increase traffic flow for TripAdvisor."

    "These days you don't need any of the above to unlock a hotel room, buy a mojito or snap a vacation photo. All you need is, well - you. At hotels like Alma Barcelona in Spain, a scan of your fingertips opens the door to your room. At Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel in the Mediterranean, you can buy suntan lotion and a sarong with a tap of two fingers. On some Disney Cruise Line ships, facial recognition technology enables onboard photographers to easily group every candid picture they take of you so that you can later browse (read: buy) them."

  • Yes, Tumblr can be a time suck if you don’t have clear objectives — but seeing as how the service is free, if you use it correctly and target your audience, you’re not going to be losing any money by joining. Granted, you probably won’t be pulling in the dollars directly via Tumblr, either, but you will be engaging with your customers, and perhaps building a stronger base for future business.
