In
the Future of Travel Experience, Jeffrey Katz, CEO of Journera and
founding CEO of Orbitz, goes one-to-one with fellow leaders to get their
insights on how advanced technology and changing consumer expectations
will shape the future of the industry.
When you look at the travel industry overall, how do you see the opportunity for change?
There are a number of monster markets that have been somewhat immune to disruption.
Healthcare
has been slow. Education has been slow. I actually think travel is one
that has been pretty hospitable to entrepreneurs and innovation.
So,
with the wind at your back in a market like this, I think there’s a ton
of opportunity for companies to come in and carve out big niches.
Andreessen Horowitz has made some significant investments in the travel and mobility sectors, like Lyft, Airbnb and TripActions. What excites you about what’s happening in travel today?
There’s a huge macro shift from analog to digital that’s happening in multiple verticals. It’s clearly been happening in travel.
