TravelManager has just spent the past week in Austin, Texas at the SxSW conference and its been great fun!

As expected there was lots of activity in the social media space as well as in Mobile – two sectors TravelManager is working hard in.

An interesting stat which passed our way whilst there was that there will soon be more Mobile Internet users in China than there are people in the USA. That is an impressively huge amount of people surfing the Internet on their mobiles – and a lot of people who are climbing up the social ladder looking for holidays etc.. abroad.

TravelManager continues to work on translating its entire platform for a number of languages – Chinese being one of them

Representatives from TravelManager will be travelling to Austin, Texas to attend the SxSW Interactive conference.  Its been a couple of years since we last went but we are expecting to see some exciting and innovative technology that we can bring into the TravelManager platform over the coming months.

Here’s an interview video of Charles de Gaspe Beaubien the President of EasyBusRental at the ABA Marketplace 2010 talking about the new website and the technology which is powered by TravelManager.

He talks about TravelManager as a platform for the Group Travel Industry and how this technology is helping buyers find quality Motorcoach companies based on metrics such as location, safety record, vehicles, reputation and more.

**The EasyBusRental is currently in Beta but the official launch will happen at UMA Motorcoach Expo

TravelManager has been developed as a platform for the Bus, Motorcoach and Tours Industry where operators and vendors can work together in bettering the industry.

The new EasyBusRental.com website powered by TravelManager has been extremely well received at the ABA Marketplace event in Gaylord National Hotel & Conference Center . All the Tour Operators and Group Transport buyers we’ve met over the last few days are really excited about using the service. The common message we’re hearing is the difficulty they have finding good companies in different areas and that the typical quote response times are in days rather than hours.

There’s a huge opportunity for Bus Operators to get more business from National buyers if they provide quality information on their profiles. Our focus over the next few weeks is improve the quality of our existing Bus Operators profile information to move the site from Beta to version 1.0 at the next major event (UMA Motorcoach Expo).

**Version 2.0 will include real-time online booking later in the year.
