  1. Popping into London tonight for Travel Massive twtvite.com/londontravelma…
  2. @Serv4Tourism Great day today. Thank you. But I still came away thinking the UK DMOs are falling short on aspiration cc @tourismknowhow
  3. @iVisitorGuide @tourismknowhow @VisitEngland I dont care about marketing. I care about measurable results. I suggest DSO - focus on SALES !
  4. In other news a PR from Marriott has asked me to tweet this infographic re Caribbean vs Mexico paradisebymarriott.com/destination-fu… It is so bad its ironic
  5. @tourismknowhow Well yes. And we had that debate today too. And I didn't understand a word of it! Meanwhile Google / Expedia plot domination
  6. DMO = Destination Marketing Organisation .... someone had a go today re speakers using travel industry jargon without defining. So fixing ;)
  7. Slowly digesting todays UK DMO conference Coventry #tmiht Doesnt seem to be any sense of urgency from DMOs to prepare for future competition
  8. Just spoken in Coventry at #tmiht . Tried to persuade UK DMOs to focus on tour/activity bookability and tech before investing in mobile web
  9. 29 rums on the rum menu at Caribbean restaurant in Southampton. Sadly have to keep focussed this week as lots on! Maybe one...
  10. @meljens I thank you for offer a few months back to send me a copy of Truth or Dare. Brought one off Amazon. Now need motivation to read! ;)
  11. Amadeus taken 200 million euro funding round / loan to fund innovation! Hey Amadeus invest in people who have ideas! amadeus.com/us/x221500.html
  12. @HotelTonight I see. But no, thats not working either - just goes to a black screen - when you select "use website" (from first screen)
  13. "I learnt more from this site in 15 minutes than I did from all the regulatory people in 6 months" << Oooh nice thing to say about @sfbo
  14. Just tried to download @hoteltonight @blinkbooking apps on my iphone - and both require IOS4. What is wrong with my slightly older phone?
  15. From some travel industry conferences you get "certificate of attendance" that counts to your training. Should turn this into a "rank" ;)
  16. Seen on BBC: US lady who runs only hotel in Nepal that specialises in serving US comfort food - like southern fried chicken! #findyourniche
