and now, the end is near.......only an hour and a half to go and the show is winding down.Thanks to MICROS travel for the free chocolate and Anteeo Solutions Ltd for the fruit. (fruit cancels out the calories in the chocolate - so all is well)

this is my first experince into the world of travel idustry and I must say its an eye- and mind- opener to see the excitin prodcuts and service.I guess balance is key here between what business needs and a procuts's promise. it's how to make the chips fall and wheels seemingly interact together that will drive any business ahead.Good Luck!Khaled AlAttar

Having spent the last two days here (exhibiting) it's amazing to see how many solutions there are that claim they can revolutionise a travel business's performance.But where do you start? Who do you trust? Which 'whiz-bang' solution is right for you?It's especially difficult to answer the complicated questions when the simplest seem difficult to answer.During a seminar about 'turning your web

We've had two great Travolution-led seminars this morning. Good debate - excellent presentations.Two more to go: "It's Marketing, Jim, But Not As We Know It" and "Starting Up Again".Be there...

Here's a thought on preventing screen-scraping raised by Andrew Knott, Global's IT director.He suggests we might see the likes of easyJet and Ryanair putting one of the those funny words in for users to type before getting into price and availability.Seems simple and effective but wouldn't it just be one more step for consumers?

Word is that there is less footfall this year and therefore it's becoming expensive to be here compared with WTM.

Three or more years on we're still all going on about DP so much so that even the staff at the TTS/Earls Ct coffee bars are DP branded, as pointed out by Mark Bradbury from RWA.Go see for yourselves!

Top 5 facts from this morning's session on mobile travel for the cynics out there:*Amongst iPhones recently developed applications 42 are travel centric* More than £400m was invested in mobile advertising in 2006 and research shows that the figure will hit £10bn in the next three years* There are 70m mobile subscribers in the UK (3bn worldwide by the end of 2008)* 74% of all users of mobile

Started out with a brisk walk from Kensington, then dozed off at the OTA lectures.Luch, english pie, then the exhibition. Lots of people, lots of stands. An impressive gathering of technology companies, offering several interesting products, and very willing to answer questions from a stay foreigner.Great show!

An interesting seminar-However a few points - 1) Travel needs to look to the future of tech and what other industries are using, not rely on it fitting their pre-concieved business plans2) Internet fatigue - could it really be that many travel sites dont have the content and functionality that make a user enjoy their site - afterall if users suffered from fatigue then PPC, Digg, StumbleUpon,

We've been wandering around for about half an hour now. The highlights have been the interesting Galileo solutions Navitas do and a chicken club sandwich.No other stands have really grabbed me yet apart from one where a lady made me write this...Off to the expert panel discussion thingy later to see what the experts have to say for themselves.

The show seems somewhat busier so far than the first morning of the show last year.Maybe online travel is set to buck the economic trend, as confidence (well bravado at least) seems high at TTS.
