Dépèche transmise le 2 novembre 2009 par Business Wire
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Plunkett Research, Ltd. has identified major trends shaping the travel and tourism industry today. These trends show why the industry is facing one of its toughest times in decades. A complete industry trends and statistics analysis is provided in Plunkett’s Airline, Hotel & Travel Industry Almanac, 2010 edition.
“The 2009-2010 period finds the travel industry continuing to face challenging times,” said Jack Plunkett, CEO. “Consumers’ budgets are tight, and they are cutting down on discretionary expenses such as travel. When the middle class does take a vacation, it is on a reduced budget. Meanwhile, business travel budgets are tight as well.”
Plunkett’s Major Trends in the Airline, Hotel and Travel Industry:
Airlines Face Economic Challenges
Open Skies Agreement on Trans-Atlantic Travel
Boeing and Airbus Continue Their Struggle for the Best New Aircraft
Airports Hit Hard by Tough Economy
Huge Travel Markets in China and India
Booking Over the Internet Becomes the Norm
Sustainable Tourism and Ecotourism Grow
Hotel Occupancy Rates Fall/Pod Rooms Emerge
Steady Cruise Industry Bookings
High Speed Passenger Trains, Including Maglev, Boom
Self-Check-In and Other New Technologies Save Labor
Las Vegas Hotels Slow
Jack Plunkett continued, “Most airlines have cut routes and reduced the total number of seats available, partly by removing older, fuel-guzzling aircraft from service. Travel providers of nearly all types are competing fiercely on price or are offering their customers special inducements and packages.”
A complimentary Introduction to the Travel Industry can be viewed at Plunkett’s website. ‘We believe that the travel and tourism industry will continue to restructure and seek ways to reduce costs. The travel sector is going to post dismal financial results for 2009. However, increased use of labor-saving technologies, fuel-saving strategies and better operating efficiencies will help going forward,” Jack Plunkett said. “Meanwhile, the cruise industry remains very strong, while discount airlines and value-priced hotels show promise.”
