Sherman, CT, USA | PhoCusWright Inc., the leader in applied travel intelligence, today launched a new syndicated research service dedicated exclusively to travel technology.

It features ongoing primary quantitative and qualitative research exposing important technology innovations and applications for the travel business. GDX, a sister product to The PhoCusWright Channel covering strategic issues and trends, combines PhoCusWright's technical expertise and travel intelligence with unique analysis and interpretation.
