I was wondering who will still be an influtial person 10 years from now, and which company..
way too difficult to predict... travel companies will be forced to adapt by changes in consumer behaviour.
the next ten pioneers and innovators may well emerge come from traditional travel companies that have evolved to embrace online, but equally from the next generation of new media entrepreneurs that in fact have no connection to travel.
