The recently concluded World Travel Market in ExCel London was a well organized show and one of the best in recent times. It provided good opportunities to visitors and exhibitors to do business as well as reach out to new contacts. <\/p>\n

RateTiger was present in full force and most of our Sales Managers from across the globe descended upon London to witness this grand show. Below are excerpts from some of their feedback on the event \u2013<\/p>\n

Pilar Sanchez Aita, Sales Manager \u2013 Spain & Portugal<\/b><\/i> says, \u201cThis year\u2019s edition was excellent; it helped me further strengthen customer relations and gain new prospects. The main topics of my discussions revolved around new revenue trends such Flash sales (Groupon), Social Media booking engine, online distribution, the affect of the recession on Southern European markets for domestic travel, etc. RateTiger\u2019s stand location was fantastic, which helped generate a lot of traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan Haynes, VP \u2013 Global Marketing<\/b><\/i> says, \u201cThis had to be the best show RateTiger has done in the 5 years of exhibiting at WTM. It was certainly the year for Technology and a year for Channel Management solutions with all global enterprises present and visible at the show. We had a busy four days and a very successful presentation on the second day delivered by Keith Povah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the core discussions – Channel management, for the first time, was a key topic of conversation, while social media tried to reign supreme. Again the recent news and discussion surrounding TripAdvisor was not sitting well with hoteliers. Hotels are looking for tangible results from marketing and sales strategies and distribution was answering most of their questions. Many exhibitors were talking about RateTiger \u2013 some nice free marketing.\u201d

Lilian Stjepanovic, Sales Manager \u2013 Eastern Europe<\/b><\/i> quipped in, \u201cThe show was fantastic as I got to meet a lot of hoteliers from my region. Having the same stand location helps in the sense that most people know where to find us. Overall, a great show which makes a lot of business sense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Keith Watson, Division President \u2013 RTCorp<\/b><\/i> concluded, \u201cThis year\u2019s show was very successful. My team took the opportunity to setup many meetings with prospects we have been cultivating over the last 12 months. These went very well. We also met with some new potential customers, who liked what they saw in RTCorp. Our discussions focused around filtering shopped rates as well as better understanding price comparison websites.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all, a grand show, very well organized and an event that will see RateTiger come back every year.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
