Travis Katz is the CEO and Co-Founder of Trip.com. Travis has been to 60-plus countries and met his wife on a camel safari in India. Trip.com came about when Travis was living in London, because it took him so long to figure out where to go on weekends! He figured there had to be a better way!
Travis gives tips for entrepreneurs: 1 – Ask people you trust to be unflinchingly honest and really listen to what they have to say 2 – Do your homework – dive into the data and understand what it is telling you about what is working and what is not. 3 – Follow new trends – often great value can be created when you catch a wave – being early on a new platform or technology (think AI, mobile, IoT, etc).
