What do you like about this subject?

By focusing on emerging technologies impacting the travel industry I am forced to keep abreast of "bleeding" edge technology and the business trends driving the travel industry. With travel the top e-commerce category its been a wild ride since I began consulting in 1995.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I am always learning. Every new project provides me new insight into the next wave of technology or travel commerce trend

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Travel is the fastest growing e-commerce category. The industry is under a radical state of restructuring.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Most current online travel systems are simply overlays over old 1960s technology! New platforms are needed to enhance the user experience.
