& Hospitality
Everyday, millions of people travel around the
globe for business, vacations, sightseeing, or
other reasons. A large amount of money is spent
on tickets, accommodations, food,
transportation, and entertainment.
The travel industry is a provider of
experiences, and increasingly these experiences
need to be customized.
According to World Travel and Tourism Council, travel and
tourism represents approximately 11% of the worldwide gross
domestic product (GDP).
Benefits of Tourism
• Tourism brings in large amounts of income into a
local economy in the form of payment for goods and
services needed by tourists.
• Accounts for 30% of the world's trade of services,
and 6% of overall exports of goods and services.
• Creates opportunities for employment in the service
sector of the economy associated with tourism.
• With the help of the data mining software the company can
find two major groups of customers: on one hand the
primarily price driven customers who are relatively flexible
regarding their travel destination; and on the other those
customers who know where they want to go and who would
simply look for the cheapest offer.
• The data mining software can analyze the historic web
analytics data, allowing to differentiate the customer clusters
by their actions and click behavior.
