🚀 What an incredible experience attending Bits & Pretzels this year! From thought-provoking panels to inspiring conversations, it was a fantastic opportunity to immerse ourselves in the latest AI trends shaping the industry. I truly enjoyed engaging with fellow panelists and experts— Isabel Poppek Khaleeq Aziz Frizzi Engler-Hamm, MBA exchanging insights and discussing how AI can drive change in manufacturing and beyond. Thank you to everyone who made this event a success. Connecting with so many passionate and visionary leaders was energizing, and I’m excited about the future possibilities we’re creating together! Looking forward to continuing these conversations and pushing the boundaries of AI at Deltia. Until next time! 🍻

🌏 ITB Asia at the stunning Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is wrapping up - and it was incredible 👏 ! Here are 5 key takeaways that I'll be mulling over in the coming weeks: 1. Community-based & experiential tourism is on the rise, aiming to create sustainable & mutually beneficial interactions between travellers and host communities. A whopping 50% of global tourism is driven by nature-based experiences 🍃, but we are also seeing a strong growth in immersive authentic experiences 🎒, including wholistic wellness 💆♀️ & local cuisine experiences 👨🍳 (source: fantastic keynote by Liz Ortiguera from World Travel & Tourism Council) 2. Hotels and hospitality groups 🏨 are acting on this. In his keynote, Kevin Goh, CEO of The Ascott Limited opened with a powerful statement: "Today's travellers are not just looking for a place to stay. They are searching for seamless, deeply personalised, and sustainable experiences that resonate with their values" 💥 3. Financial services providers 💳 and other industry players are also acting on this. Experiential rewards are now the preferred travel-related benefit - above points and cashback! (source: Todd Handcock of Collinson) 4. There is a confluence of luxury and technology happening. Luxury hoteliers 🛎 are embracing technology to create frictionless guest journeys for their guests (and their staff!), rather than always going down the route of 'human touch' (really interesting conversation between Limin Cheng of Raffles Hotel Singapore & James Lemon of Stripe organised by Travel Massive) 5. Asia-based hoteliers are embracing tech innovations 📲 at an incredible pace to deal with a number of challenges, incl. shortage of manpower and increasing customer expectations. Key trends include personalisation & customisation, AI & digital loyalty (thank you for sharing - Andy Tan, Millennium Hotels and Resorts) Years to come will see some big shifts in travel and hospitality, and I can't wait to see the impact Turneo will have on revolutionising experiential hospitality in Asia. ⛵ 🌏 #hospitality #tourism #itbasia #itb #traveltech

Testing the data quality is probably the toughest part of working with a data provider. Everybody talks a big game, and to really see "who's got it", the client needs to allocate a massive task to some of the smartest people in the company. And often they learn that it wasn't worth it. Understandably then, sometimes it's just easier to buy from the biggest names. Here's an idea for a quick test with no technical team involved: a data company that's "got it", that delivers on what they tell you, should be able to tell you a lot of things that (1) you don't know, and (2) you had no other way of finding out. Should be in the data, right? Here's an example. Mapping out TEMU suppliers with Veridion data
