With fewer customers left to migrate online the need to guarantee your site's visibility is essential to the success of your business. But how can travel executives consistently achieve this with their existing budget? What is truly taking place in the SEM industry? What are the latest trends? In the opening session of this conference speakers such as, the Director of Search Marketing for Travel for Yahoo, will demonstrate how travel companies can manage a search campaign which delivers maximum ROI.
There's no doubt that user-generated content is being hailed as the next big thing in online travel. But exactly what is the value of user-generated content? What's the most profitable way to manage it? Is it really essential to embrace UGC, or are your resources better deployed elsewhere? And if you DO go for it, what kind of ROI can you budget for? All these questions - and many others - will be expertly answered by a panel of speakers from Carnival, SideStep, RealTravel and Starwood. This is a unique opportunity to get a cross-industry perspective from hotels, cruise lines, meta-search engines of the real value of UGC.
On the second day of the conference the focus shifts to consumer-centric marketing tactics. The SVP and MD of Hilton Hhonors will open the day with a keynote presentation detailing the practical challenges of implementing a truly integrated CRM strategy.
