We can use research to see how we’re all connected or to see how we’re all different. Either way, research brings people together, just like travel. As VP of Syndicated Research for MMGY Travel Intelligence, Simon Moriarty uses these perspectives to draw insights from survey results to paint a snapshot of the modern traveler. Leading projects in Brazil, China, India, the UK and other global markets, his worldly purview and past tenure at Mintel provide him with a truly unique perspective on research and the travel industry.

Through regular syndicated research reports and one-off surveys conducted on behalf of clients like Brand USA, Travelzoo, Best Western and Visit Myrtle Beach, Simon continues to grow the body of knowledge used by MMGY and the larger industry to reach travelers. He brings his expertise and insights to impactful thought leadership pieces and speaking engagements at global events and conferences, as well as to interviews with publications such as the Guardian and The New York Times. Leading Travel Intelligence’s analyst teams, he continues to strategically develop how data, research and insights shape the future of the travel industry.
