  3. Planning the 2007 Hilton PPC & SEO Campaign

  4. Online Travel in 2007 A huge shift in how consumers book their travel has opened up new online marketing channels for many companies. People are taking more control of their travel planning online and any online campaign must provide the flexibility for people to do what they want. Travel companies are seeing the balance of power move away from them as consumers become more powerful, while they are also facing increasingly intense competitive environment within their marketplace. This means that online travel companies face several emerging challenges and will have to continue to adapt their offer to the changing consumer and marketplace if they are to remain successful.

Search and Online Travel Search engines are becoming more used and trusted for information than friends and family. 88% of users rate information provided by search results higher than that of friends and family, according to figures by Internet Advertising Bureau.
