Musings is the best travel ecommerce blog on the web
Kevin May, Editor, Travolution [June 08]
Overview
Check out the best articles (in my view!) to get a feel what the blog is about
Content goals
- Cover travel ecommerce including trading, marketing, social media, startups and conventional travel companies using the web to good effect
- Quite happy not to cover a particular topic - the aim isn't to be exhaustive - but to be interesting
- Analysis over news
- A press release free zone
- A single daily post
- Not to replicate the trade press - but to add to it - and provide a practitioners perspective
- Say it how I see it. Sometimes this gets me into trouble - but that is how it is
- To engage with the trade press where I can, although I tend to focus on Travolution because they are writing about subjects worth engaging with (in my narrow interest area) - and also because they make the effort to engage with non-traditional media types like me
- Make the blog something I would want to read (if I wasn't writing it!). I know that many people in ecommerce teams at travel companies don't read the travel trade press. The idea is you can read this instead!
- Global, but with a UK / European perspective

My business, Travel UCD, runs TourCMS - a reservation system designed for small tour operators and activity organisers. We also undertake ad-hoc consulting with various, mainly UK based, large travel companies.
Got a story?
Please do contact Alex via this form. I am unlikely to publish "news" and prefer to focus on topics that will be of interest to practitioners. i.e. focus on the how rather than the why.
