Travel, Airlines & Hospitality Management

Description

From the mid-1990s to the beginning of the new millennium, the aviation industry faced one of the biggest booms in its history. Worldwide increases in GDP, riding on the wave of the new economy and a greater demand for travel resulting from globalisation stimulated the airlines to healthy growth of around 4-6 percent per year. However, this tendency was not continued in subsequent years. There has always been a fundamentally precarious balance within the industry between profit generation and loss. One of the biggest exceptions to this rule occurred when the global economic upturn boosted travel demand. Furthermore, the major airlines gained from the new economy in terms of computer technology progress, which enables new business processes such as network or yield management, e-commerce and e-services to be supported. The role of international airlines in the total tourism business is to provide mass and quick transportation between countries under safe, standardised and economic conditions. Its relationship to the tourism industry is better understood by breaking down the entire activity of tourism into its component parts. Today thanks to better connectivity, people are spurred to travel for various reasons.
