“Robb said travel sector searches are still in double digit growth although it has slowed but all the growth currently being seen is from mobile and tablet.”

This growth highlights the importance of a new special report I’ve produced in conjunction with hotel marketing firm Vizergy, “Digital Hotel Marketing in a Multiscreen World.” You can get your free copy of the report here or use the form below to receive yours today.
