PIERS FAWKES Founder & Editor-In-Chief PSFK.com & PSFK Labs
Travelers today are looking for an intuitive, rapid and personalized experience. They understand the trail of contextual data that surrounds them and they expect the smartest travel brands to leverage those data to serve them appropriately.
Hoteliers, airlines and other travel companies have to build intelligence systems that understand context and build bespoke recommendations leading to sales. They need to leverage historical, behavioral and situational traveler data in real-time to develop engaging, informative recommendations that help travelers access the right information at the right time whether looking for travel prices or envisioning their desired destination.
Based on robust research, the Future of Travel 2016 report is full of trends insights, best-in-class examples and future consumer journeys. Readers will understand the major opportunities in planning and booking and leverage these to evolve their services and drive success for the brands they serve.

Today’s traveler has access to a host of new tools and services that are designed to make vacations and business trips more enjoyable and productive. Spanning devices, channels, and locations, this growing range of services aid in discovery, planning, and booking at key stages of the decision making process. Whether helping map out the perfect itinerary or delivering timely reminders on the go, these emerging platforms enable travelers get the most out of every trip.
While this rapidly expanding travel marketplace is a boon to travelers, it presents an ongoing challenge for hotel brands looking to connect with their guests in a meaningful way, particularly when it comes to planning a trip. By integrating into relevant media, leveraging data to create personalized experiences, and offering instant connections travel companies can meet changing consumer interactions and simplify the experience from start to finish.
