Memo Pad
SHIFT IN TRAVEL BUYING After years in which travel purchasing was largely driven by cut-throat online discounting, there’s been a shift away from pure bargain-basement decision-making, says Kanbay Research Institute in a new report on travel demand.

JetBlue was rated as the top airline. Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton ranked tops in the hotel category...
