Today I met with Ulrike Gretzel Assistant Professor and Director Laboratory for Intelligent Systems in Tourism Dept. of Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences Texas A&M University. I spent two full hours discussing the pros and cons of online social marketing and the effect it can have on travelling for people with disability. Our conversation was very engaging and gave a good insight into some directions we need to look at for the online provision of information and engaging with both individuals travelling and the tourism business sector. Fitting very neatly with our mission to allow people with dsiability to make informed choices leads to providing a platform where they can give feedback and inform others of what they have found works for them and what hasn't. This in turn can be very good feedback for the business sector involved as they can learn what they can do to improve and meet this market as well as receive feedback on what they are doing well. I learned a lot more from Ulrike and look forward to more conversations with her in the future.
