Best Western and Trip.com to present key sessions at the Mumbrella Travel Marketing Summit

Trip.com vice president of product and marketing, Lynn Qu, will fly in from Shanghai to present a session on true customer connection through data at the Mumbrella Travel Marketing Summit.

Qu will address best practice with data when it comes to travel marketing

She’ll provide case studies from the business on the surprising results that have been discovered through the use of AI while trying to understand the customer better.

The Mumbrella Travel Marketing Summit takes place in Sydney on April 11 with earlybird tickets ending soon.

Best Western Hotels & Resorts Australasia managing director, Graham Perry, has also been confirmed to start the day with a broad session outlining the key marketing drivers in travel and why they are the same today as they were 30 years ago.

Perry will look at travel marketing over the last 30 years and how it’s changed

He’ll focus on consumer insight, brand, scale, loyalty, travel technology and distribution as well as people, and illustrate why it is key to manage all of these areas efficiently using examples from his experiences across the industry.

Desjardins and McKay will reverse engineer campaigns based around design for influence

Asking the question, ‘is your experience designed for influence?’, is Klick PR founder and director, Kim McKay. She will be joined by The Guest Experience Map’s creator, Jesse Desjardins, and the pair will explore who is great at designing for influence and why it matters.

They will reverse engineer a range of experiences to illustrate what makes them great and how travel marketers can build from these insights.

New Young Consulting’s CEO, Bronwyn White, will also present at the Mumbrella Travel Marketing Summit, busting 10 prominent myths about travelling seniors.

She will focus on the over 55 market, outline why it is such an important category and how much they have to spend in travel, and reveal the assumptions that may be killing marketing strategies.
