6 August, 2009 by Martin Kelly

Martin Kelly is a passionate travel industry commentator and the founder of TRAVELtech, which he started 11 years ago in 1999.

Martin writes all the stories for Travel Trends and has just published the most comprehensive ever report into Australia's online accommodation industry, Caught In The Web: An Insider's Guide To Australia's Online Accommodation Revolution.

He also owns the No Vacancy and Search Engine Room conferences.

Based in Sydney, Martin has been involved in the travel industry for 20 years, starting as a PR Manager with Australian Airlines following a career as a daily newspaper journalist with News Limited and several years’ backpacking. Martin has also worked as a Communications Consultant for some of Australia’s best-known corporate brands, from banks to brewers, and files stories for The Australian newspaper.

Martin still dreams of getting paid to do nothing but now realises this is not going to happen. So he will continue to develop conferences and write stories so his family can eat and the mortgage gets paid. In the meantime, he will continue persisting with the notion that his next idea will be the Big One.
