This poll is designed to identify the news story from the past week that has the greatest potential to shape the future of the travel industry. Complicating the voting are some stories that are not based on fact at this point, but reflect unsubstantiated ideas or concepts. Some stories involve increasing the market share of leading organizations through mergers or acquisitions; others technological advances that could shift the balance of power between various players within the industry. The results will indicate the “Inflularity” of the event that voters feel create the greatest impact. The question for this week’s RockCheetah poll is “What Event Could Have the Greatest Influence on the Future of Travel?”

What is the World’s Best Luxury Hotel Brand?
April 23, 2010 By 11 Comments
This poll is designed to identify the best luxury hotel in the world. The best hotel chain is not measured solely by the beauty of its views from suite balconies, the thread-count of its sheets, or the price of its rooms. The secret sauce for these properties comes down to service – the magical ability to anticipate guest needs and provide personal service in an efficient, yet understated manner. The results will indicate the “Luxularity” of the luxury hotel brand that voters feel provide the best overall experience. The question for this week’s RockCheetah poll is “What is the World’s Best Luxury Hotel Brand?”

Say Anything… Fast Times at Social Media High School
April 8, 2010 By 2 Comments
Relationships are the foundation of social media. Relevance, engagement, honesty & trust are the four cornerstones when establishing interpersonal relationships. The same factors impact social media relationships. Parallels can be drawn between the perspectives on relationships provided in Say Anything…, the seminal coming of age film about the complexities of teenage relationships and the business-customer dynamics in social media relationships. Social media appears to have matured to a point where it is about to graduate from High School.
