The 14 Trends That Will Define Travel In 2014

http://www.fairtrade.travel/uploads/files/Skift_Trends_2014.pdf


What I hope to learn from this source:

I want to find information that could be helpful in setting standard of travel period and places in my article or the current flow of travel.


Notes:

1. The development of digital enables travelers with mobile tools not to bring tons of hand holdings and to access a lot of information of any industry. Finally, travelers don't need human interaction because they already know what they would do and where they would go. 
2. The business made people travel at the time after their works are done (at the end of their business trip). Also, as the business travelers usually use professional mobile tools it is more easy for them to get information.

Final Thoughts:

This article was very helpful in finding the influence of information revolution in travel; travelers are full of information about their tour place and this leads to the decrease of human interaction. Also, the type of travelers are diversifying due to the introduction of media (like business travelers). The development of mobile tools that allow travelers to access more information about tour places can be a support of my opponent's side and I think I need to start research that support how the media are likely to give people wrong or distorted information.

What I hope to learn from this source:

I want to find information that could be helpful in setting standard of travel period and places in my article or the current flow of travel.


Notes:

1. The people who plan to travel with tour agencies increased. (4.51 vs. 3.67- tour agencies and free traveling) 
2. The period of travel is about 7days on average.

Final Thoughts:

Through this article, I could  the average travel period. Though it is a little bit worrying that because it is a resource of 2012 there would be a change in the pattern, I believe there would be a no big change that will affect on my article. Also, I learn that those who travel through the package from tour agencies increased and I think that means the role of tour agencies become more important for better travel. This means, I think, the role of tour agencies is still important in traveling.

What I hope to learn from this source:

I want to get information how the mobile revolution affects travel like the change of travel pattern or the way of traveling.

Note:

1. It becomes more easy for travelers to know the information, make a reservation



Final Thoughts:
I didn't know that the travel pattern would change as technologies or the life pattern of people change. Especially, I didnt think that the mobile tools let travelers more free and independent in travel. I think this would make travelers plan travel themselves without help of tour agents. This information would be helpful in explaining why we should consider time to stay in a tourist site.
