His topic will be concentrated on next elements:
· Tripadvisor’s data on consumer sentiment (what people think of how travel will change after the pandemic, how people will want to travel, what they consider will be the “new normal” after the pandemic, what are the aspects they’re looking for when selecting a destination and booking a hotel) – all these data come from surveys we run regularly in some of our key markets globally
· Tripadvisor’s data on traffic (what destinations travellers are looking for, from where we’re seeing spikes in traffic, what type of accommodations travellers are looking for, what range of price, etc.) – all these data are user traffic data on our platform
· What hotel owners can do to adapt their business to the new travel landscape that these data are suggesting us (i.e. be more eco-friendly, propose discounts, how to market themselves as safe to go, how to create a digital strategy that can make them successful, etc.)
