The
travel and hospitality industry is changing, with companies worldwide
attempting to strengthen their positions within the industry by increasing
consolidations, examples being hotels such as Marriott (NASDAQ: MAR),
AccorHotels, and others. At the same time, other companies are focusing less on
consolidation and more on incorporating new business models that meet consumer
needs.
One
growing area in the industry is the concept of sharing, facilitated by the
efficient processing of business and consumer communication. Companies such as
Airbnb, OpenTable, and Uber are focused on helping customers find what they
need rather than offering their own brick and mortar facilities or other physical
assets.
Next
year is expected to be a growth year for this new sharing economy. The concept
is simple: instead of having excess supply and/or demand, the sharing economy
aims to keep supply and demand in balance. Companies worldwide will provide as
much as the consumer needs when he/she needs it, with an emphasis on
convenience. New business models ensure that the experience is as convenient as
possible for the consumer. They are referred to as ‘market-makers’, because
they control both supply and demand, which in turn has created a major move
toward convenience that has been lacking in the industry.
To
generate this cost and market effectiveness that is convenient for the
consumer, companies are required to partner with the customer. The customer
wants to be connected to his/her experience. Partnering with the customer means
connecting with the customer. This not only allows the customer to participate
in the design of his/her experience but also enables the companies to gather
more feedback, which in turn can be shared with other customers.
