Abstract

Potential travellers who do last minute bookings have one problem in common, they do not have the luxury of 'time'. Most travel web portals and destination websites provide similar types of information which creates information overload and makes it difficult for new-comers to decide which travel products or combination of travel products they want. In this paper we discuss a theory to assist the potential traveller to make the most convenient travel decision through the use of technology. We suggest an application and business model to determine the most convenient travel decision.
