Just a decade ago, travelers tended to rely on travel agencies, newspaper ads, and word of mouth when booking trips for business and pleasure. Today, even those with cash to spend use their computer, BlackBerry or iPhone to hunt for the best bargain. A cheaper hotel rate or lower cost flight means savings for the company or more dollars in the traveler’s pocket to spend.

For travel agencies, hotel operators, cruise lines, tour operators, and everyone else in the travel industry, the rapidly advancing technology can be either a curse or a blessing.

On one hand, if you’ve got the best price or a value-added product that others just can’t compete with, you’ll stand out and attract the best. On the other hand, if you’re not appearing in the search engines or taking advantage of smart search engine and email marketing techniques, travelers will choose someone else who is because they don’t know you even exist.
