Altruistic Scholarship for Kylee

As a fellow lover of travel, I was really excited when I saw that Kylee had decided to work her final project around this topic. Hopefully this will help you out a bit!

One website I found that is super interesting is Tnooz.  According to their website, they are a "gloabl provider of news, analysis, commentary, education, data and business services to the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. It is the leading voice to the industry for all areas related to travel technology. It focuses on distribution, marketing, systems, devices, startups, social media and commerce in the travel sector." This looks like a great resource to find others who are also interested in how the digital world has changed travel, and could be a place to submit your own research and ideas, as they have a blog and regularly post articles.

Here are links to some articles from this website that stuck out to me:

      Defining Innovation in Travel

      Taking a long view on digital marketing

      Also this webinar on travel reviews and data analysis

I also stumbled across this article, which addresses the social marketing aspect of the travel industry, and some of the dangers that presents. It addresses some of the issues the travel industry will have to work through.

Finally, there's a lot of discussion going on in social media regrading this topic. I searched #traveltechnology and found lots of different groups and discussions going on about how technology is changing the way the travel industry runs, and how they can stay on top of it.

Hopefully this helps a little bit!  Sounds like a really great idea and I'm excited to see what you do with it!
