This webinar will explore different types of online content within the travel business and offer approaches on how content can be segmented and processed. The first part of the webinar will be in form of a presentation, from Omniscien Technologies, focusing in particular on high-volume content that has a short life span such as short-term special offers or travelers’ reviews and will discuss ways of extracting value from this content. In the following part of the webinar we will have guests from 80 DAYS, GTAÂ and Bond Asian Ventures joining our roundtable discussion, chaired by Hotel Speak, to share views from an industry perspective.
The webinar took place on Wednesday the 6th of September at 15:00 CEST, but you can watch the full webinar and Q&Q below.
