Travel Web 2.0 Specialist
About Me:
 
Alex Kornfeind is an influential commentator and strategist on emerging software travel industry trends. He first spotted the significance of OTA services in 1995 when he set up his own IATA travel agency online which rapidly became a standard-bearer for the nascent web travel industry in Italy. He sold the first goAirline ticket in a travel agency, via web on 1998, changing the financial stream while asking a fee at the traveller instead being paid by the GDS.

He sold the majority of the stocks of the OTA and went on to found www.piramidenet.it, a specialist website covering enterprise adoption of web services and business process for the travel industry. Panelist in Europe and US for www.eyefortravel.com meetings and forum. Past PATA Italy Chapter and former member of the Steering Europe PATA Committee and member of the most relevant travel associations.

He recently become lecturer of www.mib.edu as a Travel Web 2.0 Specialist meanwhile he is involved in many Seminars and Summit Strategies meetings on current travel trends in software/platform-as-services and Web 2.0.
