Dear
Esteemed Colleagues,
Once
regarded as a mere tool of the business travel management profession,
technology has emerged as a primary industry driver and principal conduit
for travel service transactions. Statistics from Nielsen/Net Ratings and
Harris Interactive illustrate that the online travel industry hit $1.2
billion in sales last January-accounting for nearly a third of all e-commerce
transactions. This represents a 29 percent increase over the previous
six months!
The
growth has barely started. While the airline industry represents the largest
segment of of e-travel business, an evolving synergy with the surface
transportation and hotel components promises another period of meteoric
growth. M-commerce and the new power of personal communication devices
will not only herald a new generation of technological expansion, they
will spawn an entirely new business environment, with enhanced economy,
productivity and control.
ACTE
is pledged to providing the broadest technological overview while fostering
the sharpest focus on technology issues. The sources depicted on the pages
of this directory are committed to harnessing the power of progress and
placing it at your disposal. Our combined objective is to ready the association's
membership for this new business environment and for the opportunities
and challenges it will bring.
Mastering
technology, and making it work for you, is the first step in putting the
future in the right perspective.
Sincerely,
Julie Thomte Rabern
Vice President of Technology ACTE
