There are some indications that travel job market has picked up over the past few months after what many said was the worst period in history for the travel, tourism and hospitality industry.
Politicians will try to avoid the phrase "green shoots of recovery" at all costs, simply because it's often seen as a fool's game to predict any sign of a return to normality, however a number of folk with more than a passing knowledge of the recruitment sector are hopeful that the worst period is now over.
But what is perhaps the most interesting nugget in all this is signs that the tech jobs are driving some much of that resurgence in the market.
In the UK, for example, one leading recruitment firm says "a corner was turned" in recent weeks as travel firms locked down their strategy for 2010 and realised that some of the technology and marketing positions that were done away with earlier this year were now required again.
Another significant angle is that many of the tech firms in the US are relocating some of their core roles to UK or Europe-based offices, perhaps driven by a more fluid job market or favourable tax incentives.
The GDSs, likewise, have been busy. Travelport is making no secret of its desire to establish a major product team in the UK and is in the process of hiring around 60 people to key positions.
This is all anecdotal evidence, of course, but rumours that even the OTAs have started re-evaluating where they need to boost areas such as coding and site development is only good news for the wider travel tech community.
