Travel Industry Environment - Mapping

Travel Industry

This industry has been particularly transformed by web-based technology.

The changes that the industry has been through range from the transaction /information exchange between traveling companies, the emerging of dot com (specially ticketing) companies to the introduction of sophisticated applications and devices to enhance the traveling experience ( like Smart Phone applications).

Today, the traveling industry is a different one than 10 years ago.


Travel Industry Mapping Exercise
Being a wide industry, it touches many sectors: tourism, business traveling, transportation (airlines, rail services, bus services, shipping, commuting), hotels, luxury resorts, etc. Therefore, a mapping of its environment resulted multifaceted and somehow imprecise. We therefore decided to highlight some features of the company we particularly wanted to study for the E-Business Course.
Our company of study: AMADEUS!
Then, we added different color post-it’s (pink, blue, green) to our industry mapping (yellow), to indicate the particular features of this company.

Amadeus Business Model

  1. There is a slight modeling error the business model of Amadeus the Travel Agencies should also be channels to reach the end customer. The agencies function as intermediaries.

    Also, I would guess that the travelers pay the agencies and the agencies pay Amadeus. I don't think there is a direct revenue stream from the end customer or Amadeus. However, you would have to check that.

    Else, I noticed that you don't have very many elements in the environmental mapping. Are there really only so few elements?

  2. For those who have thyroid issues then you could know that this gland generates hormones within the body. When your body just isn’t capable to generate these hormones in the manner that it should it trigger imbalances within the body that may lead to the excessive production of moles.

  3. There are incredibly plenty of details that way to take into consideration. It really is a excellent examine talk about. I provide thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you’ll find questions like the one you start up the place that the most essential factor will likely be getting work done in honest excellent faith. I don?t determine if guidelines have emerged around stuff like that, but I am certain your job is clearly labeled as an affordable game. Both children notice the impact of simply a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives. Ethiopian Airlines Flight Booking
