Will you want virtual meetings .. only?
Posted by: JoanEisenstodt in Travel costs, Hotel on Apr 22, 2008
Today I participated as a trainer in Virtualis in SecondLife. Virtualis is a cool new area for virtual meetings and I even have my own Eisenstodt Conference & Community Center.
With voices enabled, and avatars of all kinds, it was pretty neat.
And when I saw today that all the airlines are talking about raising fares - because they have to (see this headline from USAToday on line: >>Delta CEO: 15-20% fare hike needed just to break even<<) and I look at what I posted yesterday, WILL your organizations want only virtual meetings when there are few flights and higher fares and people can't or won't travel?
What will happen to all these hotel rooms? Will leisure travel be enough to fill those rooms? And the meeting space? What will happen to it?
The world is changing rapidly and I know we've been through other cycles of this but ... is no one other than me thinking about it?
