Is it really possible to travel to the stunningly beautiful wilderness of some exotic country without a map, GPS, public transportation schedule, or access to familiar services? Without Google, such a trip seems utopian. However, there are already known cases of travelers on bicycles who have circumnavigated the entire country. the whole world with just a tent and a smartphone.
Olga Suslova, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Google: "As a technology company, we see traveler expectations changing. This applies to every stage of the journey—from planning to completion. Previously, users simply wanted to plot a route from their hotel to a museum, but now they want a single-window solution for storing flight information and accommodation reservations, searching for nearby restaurants, previewing menus and reserving tables, and receiving real-time notifications if a plane's gate changes."
We'll learn about key changes in tourist behavior, global trend analytics, technology maps, and geo-service monetization on November 12 at the Online Travel conference, where Olga Suslova, Google's Director of Strategic Partnerships, will present a report on international travel trends.
