This interview with my former boss Johannes Reck, co-founder of GetYourGuide is worth a read. (GYG are a sponsor at our FareHarbor conference Spark and they will be exhibiting in our expo hall. Do pop over for a chat with them if you are interested in learning more. We have a record number of clients who have registered for Spark and only have a few spots remaining, more info in the first reply.) Too busy to read the article - let me relive my Tourpreneur Travel Community daily brief days - this is what stood out to me: On Experiences: “It’s a $250 billion market, a third each in APAC, Europe and US. We are all a fraction of the total market so we’ve got 20 years of growth ahead of us. We should all be trying to grow the market.” On Growth 'Three months ago, GYG raised another $194m, its European business is on a roll, it’s making good inroads into the US and even the slowest recovering region, Asia Pacific, is now at three times revenue pre-pandemic. “Since January 2022, GetYourGuide has grown four times over pre-pandemic levels, and we turned profitable this quarter,” he said, triumphantly. 'What it will do – it will fortify its leadership position in Europe and gain inroads in the US, competing head-on with Viator; it will grow its global offerings – it doubled its selections to 100,000 in the last 12 months; and it will expand its GYG Originals, having refined the concept. Said Reck, “The original concept didn’t work as well – we worked with existing tours and tried to modify elements and brand them, like a white label – and the consumer ended up confused. Now the concept is truly unique exclusive products you can only find on GetYourGuide.” https://lnkd.in/eNpm3xhn #GetYourGuide #TravelIndustry #FareHarbor

Today, let's dive into a conversation that's been lingering on the recreational boating industry - the digital gap. As we move further into the 21st century, it's evident that our industry is grappling with a digital maturity issue. ⚓ The Challenge: Unlike many sectors that have swiftly embraced digital advancements, the recreational boating industry regarding match of user needs finds itself at a crossroads. Customer expectations are evolving rapidly, and the current digital landscape is struggling to keep up on the retailer side of our industry. 🛑 The Consequences: This lag in digital maturity has tangible consequences. From outdated customer engagement practices to inefficient operations, the industry is facing hurdles that hinder growth and resilience. 💡 Why It Matters: In an era where consumers expect seamless experiences and instant access to information, a digitally immature industry risks losing relevance towards the younger generation of boaters. We're not just talking about keeping up; we're talking about survival in a landscape defined by rapid technological shifts. 🌐 A Transformational Opportunity: Enter the need for change. Embracing digital transformation isn't just an option; it's a necessity. It's about aligning our efforts to the forefront of innovation, ensuring that the boating industry doesn't get left behind. 🚀 Seizing the Future: Now, more than ever, is the time to invest in digital maturity. It's about reimagining how we connect with customers and staying ahead of the curve. The industry that embraces this transformation will not only survive but thrive. ⛵ #Sailzoo as a Catalyst: We aim to exemplify the potential for positive change, and we continously develop to align industry<>customer needs. While there are various tools available, the key is recognizing the urgency to adopt them, to steer our industry into a future where we not only navigate the waves but ride them to success. 🌊 Ping #MadsRokkedahl at SailZoo and Let's discuss the challenges and opportunities within our industry. What steps do you believe the boating sector should take to bridge the digital gap and ensure a prosperous future? #DigitalMaturity #BoatingIndustry #DigitalTransformation #IndustryChallenges #sailing

🚴♀️ 💻 What do #ProductManagement and biking have in common? (Besides Philipp Hoffmann) Or: Why you shouldn't miss the #JustProduct Conference in October ;) So, “Jobs to be done” is one of the principles Ash Maurya or Marty Cagan don't get tired of promoting. And it has definitely influenced our daily work. 🔎 The idea is, that by focusing on understanding the problems customers are trying to solve, rather than solely on features, companies can create things that people really want and need. 👉 And here comes our bike analogy: For example, let's say a company wants to design a new bicycle. They could just add fancy features and try to match market needs by their own estimations and experiences, or they could speak to people who actually ride bicycles daily and find out WHY they ride them. Some might want to go pace, others instead focus on long distances, and some just commute to work. 💡 By knowing these important "jobs" people want to get done with the bicycle, the company can design the perfect bike to meet those needs. They might make a super lightweight and direct one for pacing, a sturdy and reliable one for long distances, or a comfortable one for commuting. So, "Jobs to Be Done" helps companies create things that fit exactly what people want and need, making customers really happy with the products they produce. Simple as that. 🤷♀️ For all of you who want to get more in-depth insights from Ash Maurya Marty Cagan, or Justyna Walkowska: They will be sharing them at this year's Just Product Conference in Munich. So come by to get inspired, learn, and meet like-minded people within the product community!
