New Economics of Tourism N.E.T.: What is Travel 3.0 ?
Hi guys 'm here again on this travel blog with another Travel 3.0 Post!!
You again check out more about this travel 2.0 and travel 3.0 thing including web 2.0 technology..!! I hope you will find it another interesting & informative one :-))
UPDATE: (01 - Jun - 08, 3:45 pm) TRAVEL 2.0 & TRAVEL 3.0 : The reason behind, my discussions of Web 2.0 & Web 3.0 on this blog, was the direct relation in web concepts with the travel websites nature & structure (i.e. their standards & improvements based on web2.0 & web3.)
[Please Refer -> for more on Web 2.0 & Web3.0]
Travel 2.0 describes the second wave of travel information Web sites. Web 2.0’s collaborative nature are many of what people call Travel 2.0 sites, They focus on shared, collaborator-authored information to feed the growing trend for free & independent travel and travelers’ preference for creating their own tailored itineraries. Adding an improved consumer UI using AJAX or Flash to a Travel 1.0 platform may change aspects of the application to be more engaging, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the software or tool is Travel 2.0 throughout its underlying code. A Travel 2.0 site is structured to allow users to easily contribute words and images, reviews and travelogues. Consequently those who visit a Travel 2.0 site can glean multiple insights about a destination, hotel, or other aspect of travel. This directly implements the Web 2.0 concept for the evolution of travel2.0 .
There are various examples of Travel 2.0 sites:
Trip Advisor, Tripmates, IgoUgo, Turn Here, Flickr Travel, Gusto, Travel the World Wiki, Hotel Chatter, Real Travel, Travelistic, YouTube Travel, WAYN, Where's Yours?, WikiTravel, and many more.
Travel 3.0 : Hold your breath for here comes the 3rd wave Travel 3.0 - riding high on the success of the Web 2.0 - Its is something more like you can have the cake and eat it too. But travel3.0 is as of now i know is more a buzz than a reality, infact I'm still wondering, does it, the Travel3.0 thing, have some substance? However, i feel travel 3.0 may emerge to be a bit advance & more convenient than that of travel2.0 . Travel 3.0 have more inclination towards commercial purpose. Travel 2.0 sites currently offer a seamless, directly integrated booking and transaction facility. And probably, Travel 3.0 sites will harness the proven capability of dynamic packaging to enrich buyer choice and so build sales, value and margin.
However, Enabling a Travel 3.0 site, with its rich content, choice and book-ability, requires close collaboration between the travel site, like-minded suppliers and a technology partner with the platform, capabilities, data structures and vision to pull it all together. so this conceptual things seems to be a bit far and may involved various risk factors if the wrong technology is selected.
Hope this topic on my travel blog is of a bit help to the people searching for Travel 1.0, 2.0 & 3.0 things.
Cheers ~
