EyeforTravel: Booking.com, Starwood Hotels, Google, Roomorama, Skyscanner, Tencent, TripAdvisor and more come together in Singapore

Travel brands are being made to work harder with the shifting use of mobile, social media, sharing economies and the gradual move from offline to online across Asia. They need to plan new strategies, develop new teams and refocus their budgets while trying to maximise ROI and build new revenue streams

But we still have to remember what makes you (and all our customers) want to travel today? The call of the sea, a life changing business deal, whistling windy mountains or maybe even the mayhem of a city? And we need to know how to service not just the booking but the trip itself. Travellers like to plan, experience, customise and have an itinerary built for just them.

To shed light on the growth of the Asian market and how mobile is driving consumer engagement and numbers for travel brands, Tim Gunstone, Managing Director for EyeforTravel said "We are at a tipping point where brands can focus on the customer experience, consumer behaviour and the need to engage and build relationships with these connected travellers right through the travel cycle… and at the centre of it all we have data!"

Asia has always been an important market to EyeforTravel and now in its 12^th year in Singapore the event has changed angle to reflect the demands of their TDS Asia conference attendees, as well as the shifts taking place in the industry.
