NEW YORK, March 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global travel, tourism, and hospitality organizations, today released a Phocuswright-authored report entitled “Emerging Markets in Travel: Localization Strategies in a Global Economy”.
Phocuswright, a research firm specializing in the travel industry, independently conducted the research and authored the report, detailing information on a newly identified “MITIC” group of emerging markets—Mexico, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and China—and the practices that are most effective in reaching travelers in these countries. The report explains how this MITIC group came to be and why these are countries to watch in the travel industry. In addition, the report provides specific examples and details the benefits of localized content.
An excerpt from the report states, “Research has shown that most travel is local, whether that’s domestic or intra-regional. Content, therefore, needs to be local and cater to local amenities and preferences. This, in turn, gives a unique international advantage as travelers can experience local products as well.”
Dan O’Sullivan, Vice President for TransPerfect’s Travel Solutions group, added, “As the global travel market diversifies and new destinations and groups of travelers arrive on the scene, the challenge of communicating with customers before, during, and after their journeys increases dramatically. This new research from Phocuswright gives us a better knowledge base for understanding the challenges and opportunities that exist for our clients, particularly given the rising influence of these MITIC countries.”
