Industry Insider & #Tourism2015

By Industry Insider

We are excited to announce an upcoming new blog series, Industry Insider. It aims to highlight the fact that there are a lot of common challenges across the tourism industry. From sales to reservations to accounting to operations, we’re all battling to operate efficiently and profitably.

At the core of TourConnect is a passion for uniting the industry around the solutions to these challenges. Simply put, we believe that working together benefits the entire industry. This means acknowledging that the industry can be better. It means creating industry standards for communications, data, and processes. It means working with partners and competitors, alike, to grow the industry as a whole.

As part of our efforts to bring the industry together, we are using #Tourism2015 to document the state of the industry in 2015. Join the movement by using #Tourism2015 when you see ways the industry can improve…or to highlight best practices you come across that could benefit others in the industry.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook and stay tuned for the first installment of the Industry Insider blog series.
