  • Online Travel: the Internet Is the Key Sales Channel for Tour Operators
    ITB Berlin 2009 Special Press Release: Online Travel ITB Berlin Special Press Release 08 / 2009 ITB Berlin 2009 March 11 to 15 Online Travel: The Internet is the key sales channel for tour operators Author: Isabel Bommer 1 ITB Berlin 2009 Special Press Release: Online Travel Market and technology trends in digital travel sales Social networking, semantic searches, crowd sourcing, microblogging, and video content: the Internet is developing at lightning pace. Current trends, which today employ online pioneers and e-business developers, are also directly relevant for the tourist sector. In particular, in the main travel markets, the Internet is a targeted way of becoming the most important channel for holiday sales, information and recommendations. The current uncertain economic climate will not stop this trend, although it is likely to require strategic concentration on profitable e-travel applications. The ITB Berlin 2009 highlights the latest challenges and opportunities in online travel sales – with the ITB Future Day, over 130 Travel Technology exhibitors and PhoCusWright@ITB Berlin, the industry’s leading international Travel Technology Congress. In 2008, Europe’s travel sector posted sales of almost 246 billion euros – the largest travel market in the world. In 2007, the sector grew twice as fast as the remainder of Europe’s economy. Almost one third of capacity was ultimately due to Internet sales. The unique feature was that online travel business showed double-digit growth rates (2008: 19 %) and was considerably faster than offline business and the European travel market as a whole (2008: 3 %) (Source: PhoCusWright’s European Online Travel Overview Fourth Edition 2008).

  • ACM SIGGRAPH Annual Report July 2019 to June 2019 Fiscal Year 2020 Submitted by Jessica Hodgins, President
    ACM SIGGRAPH Annual Report July 2019 to June 2019 Fiscal Year 2020 Submitted by Jessica Hodgins, President Mission: ACM SIGGRAPH’s mission is to nurture, champion, and connect researchers and practitioners of Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. (Approved by ACM August 2019) Five-year Vision: Enabling Everyone to Tell Their Stories By Everyone, we mean not just our traditional audiences of the professional movie, animation, ​ ​ and game makers but everyone with a story to tell, be they trained or novice, with significant time for the development of their story or intending to publish with just a single click. By Tell, we mean all mechanisms of conveying a story: watching, experiencing, interacting, and ​ ​ creating. By Stories, we mean not only our traditional media of movies, animations, and games but also ​ ​ newer forms of media such as augmented, virtual, or mixed reality, or forms of interactive and sensory experiences not yet invented. Stories may be narrative, abstract, educational, or scientific. They may be purely digital or they may involve the physical artifacts either through incorporation or creation. Why this vision? ● Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (CG&IT) is about communicating in innovative and inspiring ways. ● Telling stories using CG&IT, whether it’s explaining research findings, entertaining audiences, or helping people understand the world, can change societies and cultures. We want to be the showcase for the existing and emerging fields that use CG&IT to connect people. ● We want to ensure we are relevant and meaningful to our existing diverse communities—this diversity of content and community has always been a strength of SIGGRAPH.

  • Concert Promotion and Production
    CHAPTER SIXTEEN CONCERT PROMOTION AND PRODUCTION hile the monetization of recorded music has struggled mightily for years, it’s W a different story for live concerts. Although hardly immune to the vagaries of the greater economy, live music has an enormous economic advantage over recorded music. A fan must generally pay hard dollars to enjoy a live performance by a favored act, while an unauthorized shared download or a free streamdistribute puts little or nothing in the artist’s pocket. Music concerts generated $8.2 billion in surveyed 2017 ticket sales in North America, according to industry sources, not including the value of resale of tickets on the secondary market and the many acts that don’t tour nationally. Add to that sum ticket resales, corporateor sponsorships, and the economic spillover for supporting vendors and restaurants, and the vast economic footprint of live music becomes obvious. Besides generating substantial revenue from ticket sales, live concerts boost record sales. Live concerts also increase demand for artist-related licensed mer- chandise, such as T-shirts, posters, jewelry, keychains, and books. Concerts and the sale of ancillary products are so critical that major recording companies are reluctant to sign an act that doesn’t also have a compelling stage presence. And if the label does sign the act, there’s a goodpost, chance it’s part of a broad 360 deal that yields the label a healthy piece of the box office and licensed merchandise income, among other revenue streams. Three key players move and shake the concert promotion industry: the event promoter, the artist’s manager, and the tour-booking agent.
