Tnooz #tcamp1 was all about survivors, DMOs, innovation and sometimes the lack thereof
Tnooz conducted its first U.S. event last night, #tcamp1, starting at 9:30 p.m. at the PhoCusWright conference in Orlando, and it began a little raucously as big-wigs from #tcamp1 sponsors Amadeus, its sibling TravelTainment, TripCase and Tourabout sat on-stage to review the day’s events, competing with the not-so-hushed voices of hob-nobbing attendees armed with alcoholic beverages.
A section of the crowd — representatives from all over the travel-techosphere — just wasn’t in the mood at first for another panel discussion after sitting through almost three dozen, 12-minute presentations at the Travel Innovation Summit earlier in the day, but Tnooz Editor Kevin May, the low-key, grand-master flash of the evening’s town hall-style event, eventually got the throng’s attention as he meandered throughout the room, microphone in hand.
One of the most-speculated about questions was how many of the day’s innovating presenters — ranging from 10Best Solutions at 9:15 a.m. to Travelport’s Journey Manager around dinner time — would survive to pitch their stuff next year at this time.

Gone are the hungry ghosts, here comes Tnooz
Among the Chinese diaspora in the world, we have just bade farewell to the Hungry Ghost month.
That’s the period when underworld spirits supposedly come out to roam our world and it’s not considered an auspicious time to travel far, go out at night, let alone launch a new business venture.
As a spirit-fearing Chinese – who isn’t these days in a world when real money has proven to have as much value as the paper money we burn at funerals and other religious ceremonies – the launch of TNooz thus comes at an auspicious time.
