MYTH
“Travel isn’t suited to those who want to work in data”
“The travel industry is such a vibrant mix of products, systems, and
tools, so the data that comes with it is extremely complex.
Typical analytics work can vary from supporting sustainability goals and enhancing the booking
experience to predicting future travel patterns. I provide our customers with timely and accurate data, as well as improve and simplify our data landscape to enable accurate decision making. It’s an exciting field to work in as there’s always external
contributing factors to consider – we’ve dealt with the impact of ash clouds, strikes and sudden airline closures. We’re on a journey of continual evolution and innovation, meaning no two days are the same!”
