    Replacing Travel Agents? Nops; just duplicating them…

    I have met a cool start up with a very nice application which will duplicate travel agents and will learn their behaviour.  My first question was; are you looking to replace the agents? their answer was no no no, we are looking to empower them by giving them the ability to work 24/7 using their know how and by that allowing them to duplicate / multiply their workforce and work load.

    In simple words, this is how Eva works using NLP - Natural Language Processing.

    The clients will send simple text email;

    “Dear Reem, i would like to fly with my wife; Shelley next Monday from NYC to LON and back after 3 days, i would need a hotel 4 starts in the city centre with 1 double bed, gym and parking as we need a car rental mid size automatic”.

    Eva knows how to read this text and actually turn it into a booking !!! 

    I have seen it, it rocks - so far in closed Beta mode as they seek funds - Good luck, its not easy these days, but i see great potential in such system.

    Airlines & Travel Places   2009/10/21/

    British Airways is going wild places - A change at last

    Has anyone in BA realized that there is more money in “non-regular” destinations rather than fighting over same routes with more airlines…

    On one hand Its good news for us, the travellers, we get to reach new destinations easier.

    On the other hand, that means we are going back 20 years where airlines had some sort of royalties / monopoly on specific routes, thus, prices are high.

     

    The new British Airways routes are:

    Maldives !

    Punta Cana

    Montego Bay

    Sharm El Sheikh

    Las Vegas

    Have fun flying from London to exotic places.

    My advise would be to travel to Maldives, Punta Cana & Montego Bay; try this supplier for further details: www.luxury-voyage.com
