As the world slowly recovers from COVID-19 and borders start to open across many countries, travel will take on a whole new meaning. 2021 is (hopefully) set to be the year when travellers and travel businesses push for a return to normality, but the pandemic has and will continue to change how we choose to travel.
So what travel trends can we expect to see in the new year – not just for travellers but for businesses within the tourism industry as well?
In this last Hello Zafigo session for the year, Zafigo’s founder, Marina Mahathir gets insights from the travel experts at Google and Klook and talk about what is in store for us. Tune is this 28th November at 3pm.
Rohan Raghavan
Industry Manager for Travel at Google
Rohan Raghavan leads the Travel sector at Google Malaysia. In his role, he works with the largest travel brands in the country, consulting on their digital marketing strategies, tech adoption and evolution, and efficiency improvement. Before his 6.5 years at Google, Rohan worked with advertisers and agencies at the cutting edge of tech, in Malaysia, the UK, Norway, and Indonesia, helping them build their digital presence and make the most of the internet for their businesses.
As an MBA in International business and an Electrical Engineer, Rohan lives and breathes the business of technology, and firmly believes that it’s here to make our lives better.
Rohan will share key trends for travel businesses and what they need to do to prepare for the road ahead. His presentation will also briefly take participants through simple online tools like Google My Business, which businesses in the tourism industry can utilise to connect and engage with customers.
