These days many refer to it as “the new digital oil” and not without reason. More than half of B2B companies in Europe are already contemplating powerful investments in what is known as Big Data, and they expect data analysis to be a key factor for the future of their businesses. 
In the tourism sector, in particular, we live in an era where over information can be a problem, where excess data blocks us and creates a wall that prevents us from seeing beyond the immediate. The coveted and sought-after data we receive is of little use on its own unless we have specifically designed tools at hand to analyze them and extract valuable information that allows our business to grow.
The big dream of Big Data is just that: converting all the scattered information into strategies that will actually help improve sales. In order to do so, we need more and more tools for Business Intelligence, tools that take care of reading the data and extract so-called ‘business signals’ from it.

This is why XML integrations have become an essential element in the tourism sector as we know it today, especially for travel agencies that want to be able to offer the best possible service to their customers at all times.

What is the most visited city in the UK? Which is the cheapest one? How do the British travel within their own country? The team from InsightsX, the Business Intelligence tool provided by TravelgateX for the tourism market, has taken a full x-ray of the travel sector in the UK on the occasion of the most anticipated event of the year: the World Travel Market (WTM) in London, which will last from today, November 4, until Wednesday the 6^th.

It does feature an extra hour granted by the alarm clock and of course we love Halloween, but October is a big month for TravelgateX because of its travelling character. Steering a trolley with one hand and holding a fully charged smartphone in the other, with eyes wide open and ready to be filled with industry trends – our team has zeroed the odometer and travelled to Asia, more specifically to ITB Asia and The MarketHub.
