What were the biggest travel trends of 2015?
Updated 0000 GMT (0800 HKT) December 21, 2015
The last 12 months saw some major shifts in the travel and tourism industry, from quirky plane seat designs to a total upending of the decades-old loyalty program model.
We look at some of the biggest changes of 2015.
Revenue-based frequent flyer programs
For decades, frequent flyers were given rewards based on the number of miles they flew.
This year, United Airlines, Delta and American Airlines changed that, rewarding miles based on the dollar amount of a ticket.
It's a seismic shift that doles out rewards to the big spenders, rather than the frequent fliers.
"In 33 years of frequent flier programs, this is the year of the biggest changes ever," notes Randy Petersen, CEO of Frequent Flier Services.
It is a model that is starting to spread throughout the industry.
"We saw some of the first hints globally from international carriers," notes Jason Clampet, co-founder of Skift.com, which follows trends in the travel industry.
Earlier this year, British Airways tweaked its loyalty program to reduce the amount of miles an economy ticket can accrue. Cathay Pacific also moved to a more revenue-based model a few months ago.
"It is kind of a ripple effect going back and forth in both directions. We are also going to see more creative loyalty programs pop up," predicts Clampet.
Third-party fees
Earlier this year, Lufthansa angered the travel agent community by charging a fee of 16 euros ($17) for bookings made outside of its website (basically, for anyone using a Global Distribution System, or GDS, to book).
GDS are the main computers for reservations, and airlines are charged fees for every booking process through a GDS.
Naturally, there is a financial incentive for the airline industry to discourage these types of bookings, though the move has supposedly provided backlash amongst travel bookers.
"It's not a huge amount of money, but it's a little bit more the concept," notes John Snyder, CEO of BCD Travel, a corporate travel management provider.
"Some of the customers in Germany are very unhappy with Lufthansa for making that move and we have customers that have booked away from Lufthansa," he adds.
When the fees were first announced, it was thought other airlines might follow suit. So far, Lufthansa is the only one to have added on the GDS fee.
New seat concepts
This year, Zodiac Aerospace, a premier supplier of aircraft equipment, came up with a new concept for the air cabin seat, one in which passengers face each other.
The HD-31, aka the knee-to-knee, may not seem like it gives much in the way of leg room, but according to Tommy Dean, Zodiac's head of Advanced Concepts, the design allows for greater efficiency and, ultimately, increased comfort.
"Airlines always come to us and ask to think outside the box, to challenge what's done traditionally. Today, everything face forward, everything's very conformist, but to really create more space, you have to start to redistribute people, actually change their orientation," he says.

Uber for business travelers
How digital apps made DIY travel more affordable 08:29
Over the last year, taxi-booking app Uber has set themselves up as a handy tool for corporations with their relatively new Uber for Business platform.
In addition to letting companies set up corporate accounts through which employees can expense rides, Uber lets companies set limits and monitor the rides so they can sort out which claims are genuine.
"You can have business rules, which means you can only take an Uber during this time or for these purposes," explains Emil Michael, Uber's senior vice president of business.
"(Companies) do want to know that the expenses are legitimate. What we provide is a beginning and end trip. You don't get that in a taxi receipt," he adds.
Airbnb for business travelers
Uber isn't the only company in the sharing economy succeeding in wooing business travelers. Airbnb is on a similar mission to tap into this lucrative market.
"(Companies) are like, oh, we can put five workers in a condo and we can save $3,000 on a meeting. They don't think twice about it. Airbnb is making it easier for them to make that decision," notes Clampet.

Normally,thai people feel uncomfortable with a seats on the plane. Flights travel across the country for a long time. So this new seat concepts can improve the problem. the design allows for greater efficiency and in creased comfort.
But i think this trends , Airbnb for business travelers will not work for thai tourists travelling.because Airbnb isn't confirm the safety for thai tourists.they don't know what the standard places in airbnb ? so thai tourists travelling still use hotel in abroad.

ReplyDelete- I think that the new seating concept for Thailand. Will travel more comfortable. Cabin air It has a function that allows for a more efficient and increase convenience for travelers, business people Airbnb Thailand will not run. Most of them are traveling or going to work together, rather than sit on the plane. Most are traveling as a family or as a group.

ReplyDeleteAnswer : -From the passage, I think the New concept for the air cabin seat would work for Thai tourist s who travelling abroad. The old design of the air cabin seat make Thai tourists who would like to get a comfort services feel unsatisfied when they take a long flight. for this reason the new concept of the air cabin seat is appropriate with Thai tourists because it can solve a problem from the old one.
Moreover, Using a digital apps (E.g. taxi-booking app Uber or looking for a place to stay app Airbnb) can make your trip more comfortable. Especially someone who haven't been there before.
- And i think, Booking from a Global Distribution System will not work for Thai tourist and it's waste of money.
because The tourist who using the GDS for reservations will pay airlines charge fees for every booking process through the GDS. and Normally Thai people they don't like to make a difficulties.

Look through these trends in travel industry, do you think what would work and what will not for Thai tourists travelling abroad due to cultural issues?
ReplyDeleteAnswer : I think new seat concept will not match a distraction of Thai people. Facing each other with knee-to-knee situation is a worse nightmare. Almost Thai people is quite shy. They need privacy and calm on a flight, long flight in particular. For instance, facing unknown person during 6 hours flight time is a catastrophic situation.
However, revenue-based frequent flyer program won't fit with Thai people since low-cost airline fee is essential nowsaday. Calculation on the money that passengers spending on flight fee will not work because almost Thai people get a low return in low cost fee.

ReplyDeleteAnswer : It's suitable for Thai travelers who frequent flyer because mileage make frequent flyer have a lot of miles it's can exchange a special privileges as specification of airlines. So mileage is a good travelers attraction or thai businessman.But I think this trends , Airbnb for business travelers. It's not suitable for tourists or businessman of Thailand because most of Thai people when traveling they want to stay with a comfortable, have a privacy and safety. Most of Thai people often used the service is resort or hotel that full of facilities and staff service.

ReplyDeleteAns : I think the air cabin seat of old format improper with Thai tourist because It’s uncomfortable. Thai tourist want to wide area in the cabin area and private zone. Won’t passengers face each other. And Airbnb is not for thai tourists. I opserve mostly thai people travelling with their friend or family. And Nature Thai people don’t like shared with others. Another important reason is safety.

Look through these trends in travel industry, do you think what would work and what will not for Thai tourists travelling abroad due to cultural issues?
ReplyDeleteAns : 1.) In my opinion this new way of given reward can work well with Thai tourists due to a number of Thai travelers on high season that spend higher price on ticket fees. This will encourage a number of customers to travel during holiday and gives advantage to the airline.
2.) From my point of views. An idea to charge an extra ticket fees from third party will not work for Thai customers. Because most of Thai travelers always book with airline and budget travelers always book year ticket before they travels with airline.
3.) Personally I think this seat concept can work and not work to Thai tourists in different section. In case of domestic travel this concept could be use for budget tour that tourists do not care for comfort, but focus on price. In other hands this concept will not work with long range travel that passengers need their private space and comfort.
4.) In my perspective this is a very smart move of Uber because their are huge number of businesspersons from Thailand are travel around the world. Most of these people are using cabs to travel to hotel and meeting place. That means Uber taxi could guarantees both cost effective and safety to these travelers.
5.) In my opinion this idea could be work and not work due to different section of business. In case of small business this idea may not work because the meeting are dealing in informal meeting. However if Airbnb can deal with medium business this idea can be work well. Eventhough without statistic and number of Thailand oversea business an answer for success or failure of this idea remains unclear.

Thailand people like that, in essence, passenger comfort, and new, but it is not ideal for tourists or business travelers to Thailand, because Thailand, when most of the people travel, they want to live with comfort, privacy and security.

I think Uber for business travelers is work for Thai people and every businessman in the world because it is very comfortable because it has set themselves up as a handy tool for corporations and sets up corporate accounts.

In my opinion,i think the new concept for the air cabin seat would work for thai tourist who travelling abroad. Because thailand people like privacy,if they have to sit on the airline catering could make no sense of privacy. The new seat on the plane,so it is not appropriate to the culture of thailand. นางสาว วรัญญา พงษ์อุดมพล 5705997 TRM 319 sec 01

ReplyDeleteAnswer : For the new seat concept In view of this, I think Thailand is not like in the passenger's face. HD-31, also known for his knees. The culture determines the personal conduct of Thailand (Some) prefer to have more privacy, not brave (shy) even have to be in flight requires a period of several hours. Sit facing each other It's not easy to do But looking back on it with people who do not think much can be comfortable with concepts like this. I also use digital applications (Eg taxi-booking app Uber or looking for a place to stay app Airbnb) can make traveling more convenient. And the frequent flyer program is not appropriate for the people of Thailand since the low-cost airlines. Thailand because people almost get low returns in low cost.

ReplyDeleteAnswer : I thought that New seat concepts are not suitable for tourists visiting Thailand because Thailand is considered a waste of money to pay bills, then they will want to be sitting on a plane easily. Modify the new seat I think that will make tourists Thailand is no space to make themselves comfortable and made to feel uncomfortable. And there is no privacy due to face each other. Finally, sit back turned to the head of the aircraft at the time the plane lifted off the ground to make people sit back to back, it is not self-control, and one would have cause dizziness.

ReplyDeleteA : From the passage , I think that the new seat concepts would work for Thai tourists who
travel because thai people usually like the comfortable things.
Another reason is the extra charged that most of the tourist had plan it before
they choose the airline for there trip. becuase they want to use least money(budget)
for there trip . even some group of thai people are spending and wasting money
for unreasonable things .
at last Airbnb doesn't confirm their safety to thai tourists.
they doesn't know what is the standard and safer places in airbnb
so thai tourists usually used hotel when they're going abroad.

Q: Look through these trends in travel industry, do you think what would work and what will not for Thai tourists travelling abroad due to cultural issues?
ReplyDeleteA: In my opinion, There were many choice in travels trends. So we can choose the best way for comfortable on travel.
First, The revenue-based frequent flyers that
given rewards based on the number of miles they flew. I don't interest in this trend, because it not need so much for thai people.
Second , The new seat concept. This year, Zodiac aerospace a premier supplier of aircraft equipment, came up with a new concept for the air cabin seat, one in which passengers face each other. It seem that they have more space for stretch your arms and legs. but you won't fell private. So maybe it isn't the best way for everyone including me.
Last, Uber for business traveler. I'm sure that this trend is such a best way for travelling.You can book your time and distance for taxi. It can tell you how much is cost before you use it. By the way you can decide first, so i quite recommend this trend.

So revenue-based frequent flyer programs make Thai tourists travelling attention. New seat concepts I think that not trends for Thai tourists travelling. Because most Thai people they are like privacy. So a new seat concepts, by one in which passengers face each other represents it’s not privacy. But if you look at the saving, maybe are more attention.

ReplyDeleteA : Thailand's culture that loves to clean and very comfortable. In the tourism products that people often choose convenience Thailand before. So the new seats adjusted as a good idea. Create a tendency to businesses. It should be added privacy to the seat. Because Thailand has a shy temperament. Travelling in a long time with those by other lines may make people feel uncomfortable Thailand is not natural. Using apps and Applications Uber taxi booking made even more comfortable. And booking through Air bnb contribute a lot more to businessmen. But in Thailand, tourists To travel with family or friends because abscesses fair Thailand to enjoy privacy with friends. Another, also with regard to safety.

ReplyDeleteAnswar : Referring from this passage, I quite confident Uber that it will work for Thai tourist, Uber will cover a wide range of customers which are ordinary people till business person. Because it is more safety than normal taxi, you can check profile your Uber driver through smart phones which is very convenient, and it can control your expenses through budget determination. Uber application also can help you check the route and location through internet anytime.
But I think new seat concept will not work for Thai people. Even Thai people are generally friendly but facing each other cause awkwardness and it has no privacy.

Look through these trends in travel industry, do you think what would work and what will not for Thai tourists travelling abroad due to cultural issues?
ReplyDeleteAns. I thought "the New seat concepts" would work for thai tourists travelling abroad because they usually travelling with their familys, friends or lovers. So there are a few thai tourists travel alone. That made me thought that when they are on board for hours they would like to spend their more free time to talk to each other or do some activities together. There are better than they live separate lives. So it would be convenient and more comfortable for them if passengers can face to each other.
The second one, i thought "Airbnb for business travelers" will not work for thai tourists travelling abroad because they might not trust other people that you do not know them. Thai tourists are seriously choose hotel or motel more than rent a room from hosts that will make they more safety. So all i thought that is not work for thai tourists travelling abroad for sure.

Q : Look through these trends in travel industry, do you think what would work and what will not for Thai tourists travelling abroad due to cultural issues?
ReplyDeleteAns: in my opinion I think the culture of Thailand does not like foreigners. Thailand to allow passengers to sit facing the new seating concept, most people might not like Thailand because Thailand is a shy personality rarely dare to talk to strangers and to have to travel several hours. But it would be convenient for people to travel in groups or with family.
In my opinion this idea could be work and not work due to different section of business. In case of small business this idea may not work because the meeting are dealing in informal meeting. However if Airbnb can deal with medium business this idea can be work well. Eventhough without statistic and number of Thailand oversea business an answer for success or failure of this idea remains unclear.

Q: Look through these trends in travel industry, do you think what would work and what will not for Thai tourists travelling abroad due to cultural issues?
ReplyDeleteAns: In my opinion i think that the new trend would not work in thai tourist industry because as we known that In this industry there were in high competitive between the airline about low cost ticket so it will definitely effect to the tourist as frequent flyer somehow everyone always choose the cheaper one moreover the low cost ticket wasn't that bad it was ok to fly in the near country around asia.
However we can't reject that everyone also want to get the reward and there's not only tourist who fly with low cost it will work with the business person also who have to travel for any reason on business way.
For another with the fee i think the airline should put some attention on it , if the fuel price was decrease it shouldn't add up the fee you can put some another service and it should be optional for the customer.
Last one about uber thai tourist have to face with the problem about transportation uber would be a new option for this issue but i heard that Uber is something new for our country it should be manage to people not only for tourist and make it right way and make sure that uber will bring the passenger to their destination safety.

May not be suitable for tourists or businesses who have to travel far to ride with a passenger who does not know the culture, because the cause is personal.

ReplyDeleteAns. In my opinion, the new seat concepts are not work for a Thai tourist travelling. I think the most of Thai's people want something that made them comfort and privacy. They will be probable like New seat concept because it was the air cabin seat. But some people in Thailand was a shy person, I think maybe they won't satisfy in the concept about passengers face each other and the sit knee-to-knee. Maybe it make them feel cramped.
So, uber for business travelers would work for Thai tourist than new seat concepts. Because in the present, almost people can use an internet. They can set up an accounts in their smart phone for use application. Uber app was a safty and convenience, they can control by themself.

Tourism that people often choose convenience for Thailand. Thailand tourists often travel with family or friends. Do not like to mess with other people also using Digital Apps (like taxi booking App Uber or looking for a place to stay Airbnb App) that can make your trip more comfortable.

ReplyDeleteA: According to Thai tourist behavior. Thai people likely to stay comfortable and cost least as possible so Thai tourist won't choose Lufthansa for sure if they cost extra charge. About Uber this might going well because they don't have to call the taxi or concern about charge or bad driver. They just tap on the application and done Thai people love easy and convenience way.

ReplyDeleteA: I think Thai people like face to face seat concept. And I don't think Thai people like third party fee concept because we have to pay more.

ReplyDeleteI think Third-party fees, New seat concepts, Uber for business travelers (apps made DIY travel more affordable, Airbnb for business travelers), and Travel gadgets perfect for seasonal gifts there are all the trends that travel industries should make it happen with Thai travelers because of Thai people like the convenience but they don't like difficalties.And these trend can increase the convenience for tourists.
For the Revenue-based frequent flyer programs I think that it's unlikely effects with Thai tourists because by the Foundation of the Thai people don't like the obligation but often choose from several basic factors such as price, quality, andetc. So it is not necessary to Purchase decisions of the tourist.

ReplyDeleteAns: In my opinion, the new seat concept, I think this concept will not work for Thai people because some of Thai people will don’t like it because Thai person's nature don’t like to talk to the stranger if it's not necessary and I think people who want to travel need their own space or privacy to recess them from jet-lack or comfortableness on the airplane.

ReplyDelete- Business Travel is important The long journey to create difficulties for him. The availability of facilities during the long journey would be good for them. Thailand, for people who like comfort. And want to save the best for his benefit if the airlines do things whole-food beverages seats more widely. Compared with foreign wasted money on expensive things, then the best thing.

ReplyDeleteA: I think new seat concepts will not work for Thai tourist because they needs private area and Spend time to sleep, work and so on. some people don't like to sit with other people for a long flight.
I think Uber taxi for business would work for Thai people. Because it's very comfortable and private area for businessman.
