The future of today’s tourism sector rests on the capacity of companies and professionals in the sector to understand and anticipate travellers’ needs. It is a very complicated challenge, no doubt about it, but fortunately there are many tools to smooth the way – tools that were inconceivable just a few years ago.

After collecting the traditional New Year grapes and buying bags of favours for all the team members, TravelgateX activates the bye-bye-2019 mode, ready to release the 2020 agenda with more enthusiasm, desire and projects than ever. In what will be the “year of the golden rat” or “the year of great luck” according to the Chinese calendar, there will be lots of challenges, goals and events that will mark a before and after for our company.
Starting a new year means getting a move on, filling up on positive energy and growing. This is exactly what we will do during the coming twelve months: grow and expand. To do so, we will rely on our philosophy of always offering the best (as far as tourism connectivity is concerned) and the infallible equation of “buying improvement to sell better“. 

We all agree that without internet it would be impossible to imagine a tourism industry like the present one. With the emergence of the network of networks and new technologies, the work tourist agents do has been made so much simpler, but it has also been perfected, and business niches hitherto unthinkable have appeared.
But this ‘magic’ is not just due to the existence of the internet. There is a secret ingredient, and that ingredient is what really makes this new medium a pillar of the tourism industry. We are talking about digital connections (also known as integrations). They make all the information highways work perfectly, without sinkholes, without jams, without interruptions.

“We want everything, and we want it now” – this is the starting point when talking about the reseller role, the new king of travel connectivity and a new key concept that has come to TravelgateX to stay, grow and revolutionise the sector with a clear, certain motto that is: “why would I settle for one thing when I can have IT ALL.”

Being able to understand your clients perfectly means you can anticipate their needs and give them what they want most of all before anyone else does. This phrase perfectly sums up the current reality of the travel sector and its future challenges because – like it or not – if there is no data, there is no business in this era of information and communication.

Here comes Christmas. Lights, Christmas carols, Christmas goodies and street markets flood the main European cities, and there are many who take advantage of the holidays to get a break from the daily routine and go travelling. As a couple, with friends or even with the entire family: more and more Europeans look to destinations outside their own country to enjoy these last days of the year.
If we look at the numbers offered by Insights-X from TravelgateX when it comes to Christmas holiday reservations made by the Spanish, English, French and Italians, we can see that the places we prefer to escape to when celebrating these special days at the end of the year are, in this order: the Canary Islands, England and New York.
