There is an increasing number of platforms for travel brands to connect with their audience and it’s the same story with formats. Playing the creative note, brands are competing against each other in a bid to stay on top of their customers’ mind but that isn’t all child’s play. To stay ahead of the curve, travel marketers have to keep learning and adapting to the change.
TiE Delhi, in order to help with the same, is hosting the Travel Marketing Summit 2016 this Friday (September 30). We have the full agenda of the event and the sessions certainly look interesting.
Following the opening address, there will be a fireside chat on the Emerging trends in Travel Marketing. Naveen Seshadri, COO at Lonely Planet and Daksh Sharma, Founding Partner at TravHQ will discuss what marketing trends we will see in travel.
