Welcome to the Age of Traveller Power - by Amadeus Asia-Pacific

Welcome to the first "Easy & Busy" Thailand MeetUp by TravelDailyNews Asia-Pacific (http://www.traveldailynews.asia/)

THE TOPIC

The Age of Traveller Power

In this age and beyond, travel providers need to see the traveller as more than a set of demographics, and truly understand their wants, values and behaviours. More than ever they need to adapt their approach to appeal to different traveller ‘tribes’ who are searching for unique and personal travel experiences. Travel agents, airlines, hotels and even airports now need to embrace and adopt technology faster than ever before to survive and thrive.

And the power is shifting toward the Asia Pacific traveller. By 2023 APAC will overtake Europe in terms of travel spend and by 2030 almost half (49%) of all global passenger traffic is expected to be within or to/from APAC. This is a huge and exciting opportunity. How can we ride this wave? How can we get a better understanding of the “new” traveller?

Amadeus is leading the way towards a better understanding of the traveller, today and in the future.

THE VENUE

Established in 2014, Water Library Central Embassy is the latest and vibrant addition to the fast-growing portfolio of Water Library restaurants in Bangkok. This adaptation of the Water Library interprets the French brasserie concept of the 1920s’ golden era in Paris. It’s all about classic yet inventive French food in elegant surroundings where customers can sip on fine French wines or creative French cocktails such as the house aperitif La Brasserie Pêche, a special French sparkling cocktail of peach liquor topped with Crémant. With exceptional yet hassle-free service, Water Library Central Embassy offers an unparalleled dining experience at fantastic value for money.
