As generative AI transforms how consumers search, plan, and book trips, travel brands are rethinking how to attract and engage audiences online.</p><p>Recent data shows that travel and hospitality websites have averaged <strong>a 20% year-over-year decrease in organic traffic.</strong> But a drop in clicks doesn’t necessarily mean a drop in interest. Instead, it reflects a fundamental change in how travelers find information, and how search engines deliver it. </p><h2>The Fundamental Shift</h2><p>Google’s AI Overviews (AIO) and the growing influence of large language models are <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/growth-marketing-and-sales/our-insights/new-front-door-to-the-internet-winning-in-the-age-of-ai-search">rewriting the rules of search</a>. Where travelers once browsed multiple sites to compare destinations, itineraries, and prices, many now get comprehensive answers <a href="https://www.whistlerbillboards.com/marketing/the-impact-of-googles-ai-overviews/">directly within</a> AI-powered chat tools.</p><p>During ¾Åɫ’s recent webinar on this topic (<a href="/resources/webinars/demand-webinar-protecting-income-new-ai-content-marketing-landscape-travel">watch now</a>), we polled an audience of travel industry experts. Every attendee reported experiencing traffic declines since AIO was introduced, with over 40% seeing traffic decreases of more than 10%.</p><p>This shift means that many users now complete their research within AI platforms and only click through to websites when they’re ready to engage, book, or buy. The path to purchase has changed, but not necessarily for the worse.</p><h2>Quality Over Quantity: The New Traffic Reality</h2><p>When visitors do reach your site today, they’re typically more qualified than ever. Travelers are conducting <a href="https://skift.com/2025/02/03/how-has-ai-changed-travel-planning/">research within AI platforms</a> and arriving at your website when they're ready to engage or book. This means <strong>higher engagement rates and stronger conversion potential</strong>, even if total traffic volume is lower.</p><p>To succeed in this new environment, travel brands must focus less on chasing links and more on building trust, authority, and long-term value.</p><h2>How Travel Brands Can Adapt</h2><h3><strong>1. Prioritize Content Quality and Expertise</strong></h3><p>In an AI-driven world, generic or keyword-stuffed content no longer works. If a machine can generate it, it’s not going to stand out. Instead, highlight the expertise and experiences only your brand can offer:</p><ul><li>Share firsthand insights from local guides and destination experts</li><li>Include real traveler stories, reviews, and itineraries</li><li>Provide content that goes beyond what’s easily available: tips, trends, and hidden gems that make your brand indispensable.</li></ul><h3><strong>2. Strengthen Technical Foundations</strong></h3><p>While the way travelers find content is changing, the fundamentals of <a href="https://www.transperfectdigital.com/services/international-seo">SEO</a> still matter. Make sure your website is technically sound:</p><ul><li><strong>Crawlability:</strong> Ensure all content is accessible to both search engines and AI systems.</li><li><strong>Speed and mobile optimization:</strong> Fast, responsive sites reduce bounce rates and improve rankings.</li><li><strong>Structured data:</strong> Schema markup and clear content hierarchies help AI tools understand and surface your pages correctly.</li></ul><h3><strong>3. Track and Optimize Your AI Visibility</strong></h3><p>You can't manage what you don’t measure. Understanding how your brand appears across multiple <a href="https://www.techradar.com/best/best-ai-tools">AI platforms</a> is essential. Different systems pull from different sources, so visibility tracking is essential.

It’s focused on creating immersive journeys that resonate on a personal level. From hyper-personalized itineraries and AI-powered chatbots to Asia’s booming influence, here are five travel trends poised to shape the future.</p><h2>1. Personalization—Speaking the Traveler’s Language</h2><p>Personalization in the travel industry goes beyond outdated itineraries and basic translation apps—it’s about delivering experiences in the traveler’s native language while considering cultural context. <br>Imagine booking a dream vacation and receiving a custom-tailored itinerary that not only highlights must-see landmarks but also recommends local hidden gems, unique culinary experiences, and off-the-beaten-path cultural events—all delivered in your native language and tailored to your cultural background. In 2025, personalization in travel is set to transcend standard package deals.<br>Take, for example, a global tour operator that sends you a beautifully curated itinerary in your preferred language. It might include everything from local dining hotspots and art exhibitions to festivals that truly capture the spirit of the destination. When your culture and language are reflected in every detail, it builds instant trust and excitement.</p><p><strong>Benefits of Language-Centric Personalization:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Builds Trust and Rapport</strong>:Travelers feel more comfortable and understood.</li><li><strong>Increases Booking Conversions</strong>: Reduces barriers by leveraging translation and localization</li><li><strong>Enhances Customer Satisfaction</strong>: Delivers culturally relevant recommendations.</li></ul><h2>2. Seamless Digital Experiences</h2><p>Remember the frustration of navigating clunky websites and complicated check-in processes for an airline flight? Today’s travelers expect a frictionless experience where every digital touchpoint works together harmoniously. In 2025, the journey from browsing to booking—and even post-trip engagement—will be smooth as silk. <br>Imagine an all-in-one travel app that not only lets you book flights, hotels, and local tours, but also sends real-time updates, personalized suggestions based on your travel history, and even offers a virtual concierge that can answer your questions at any hour.</p><p><strong>Key Features Driving Seamless Digital Experiences:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Intuitive Interfaces</strong>: Easy-to-use apps and websites that cater to both tech-savvy and less digitally inclined travelers.</li><li><strong>Digital Concierge Services</strong>: Virtual assistants that help with everything from check-in procedures to discovering local attractions.</li><li><strong>Smart Notifications</strong>: Real-time alerts that keep you informed about gate changes, delays, or even local weather conditions.</li></ul><h2>3. AI for Lean Teams and Reduced Budgets (with a Touch of Machine Translation)</h2><p>Running a travel company is no small feat—especially when budgets are tight and teams are lean. Enter AI and machine translation (MT). In 2025, AI will help travel companies deliver top-notch customer service and localized content without the overhead of large, multilingual teams.<br>Consider the power of AI-driven chatbots on a travel website. These digital assistants are available 24/7, instantly translating customer inquiries and offering travel tips in multiple languages. By handling routine inquiries and quickly translating content, they enable small teams to efficiently manage global communications. Picture a traveler from Brazil landing on a website and being greeted in Portuguese, receiving immediate help to book a hotel or get travel advice—all without waiting on hold for a human agent<br>Another travel industry use case is automated content localization. Marketing teams can use MT tools to quickly adapt promotional materials, ensuring that every ad and email campaign speaks directly to its intended audience. This approach saves time and money while making travelers everywhere feel understood.</p><p><strong>How AI Is Transforming Travel Operations:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>AI-Driven Chatbots</strong>: Provide instant multilingual support, reducing wait times and enhancing customer service.</li><li><strong>Automated Content Localization</strong>: Quickly adapts marketing materials to resonate with global audiences.</li><li><strong>Efficient Resource Management</strong>: Allows lean teams to manage broader markets without additional staffing costs.</li></ul><h2>4. Asia’s Re-Emergence as a Global Travel Powerhouse</h2><p>Asia is not just a tourist hotspot—it’s rapidly emerging as a global travel powerhouse. Whether it’s the vibrant streets of Tokyo, the bustling markets of Bangkok, or the serene landscapes of Bali, Asian destinations are captivating travelers around the world. At the same time, Asia is becoming a major source of outbound tourism, with millions eager to explore new cultures. Understanding regional cultural nuances and local language preferences is essential to capturing this market.</p><p>Travel brands are taking note by launching highly localized marketing campaigns in languages like Mandarin, Korean, and Japanese. For instance, airlines and hotel chains are crafting campaigns that speak directly to Asian audiences, complete with regional cultural references and promotional offers timed around local festivals and holidays.</p><p>Many resorts in Southeast Asia have started offering packages that showcase local culture with traditional dance performances, culinary classes, and guided tours of local sites, taking regional languages into consideration. This travel trend of culturally tailored offerings not only attracts Asian travelers but also enriches their experiences.</p><p><strong>Key Factors Driving Asia’s Travel Boom:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Localized Marketing Campaigns</strong>: Tailored content in Mandarin, Korean, and Japanese resonates with diverse audiences.</li><li><strong>Culturally Rich Travel Packages</strong>: Experiences that highlight local traditions and customs appeal to both inbound and outbound travelers.</li><li><strong>Growing Outbound Tourism</strong>: Increased demand from Asian travelers seeking unique global experiences</li></ul><h2>5. Experiential Loyalty—Rewarding Memories, Not Just Points</h2><p>Loyalty programs are evolving. Gone are the days when travelers collected points solely for discounts. In 2025, loyalty is all about unique experiences—creating memories that last a lifetime. Travel industry brands are offering perks like cooking classes with local chefs or exclusive cultural tours as loyalty rewards. These immersive opportunities transform loyalty programs into gateways for discovering the soul of a destination, ensuring that every journey becomes a story worth sharing.<br>For instance, a luxury travel provider could surprise its frequent flyers with an invitation to a private art tour in Paris, complete with personalized, multilingual guides who speak directly to their interests. This level of attention transforms routine bookings into extraordinary adventures, fostering deeper emotional connections and encouraging repeat business.</p><p><strong>Benefits of Experiential Loyalty:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Creates Emotional Bonds</strong>: Unique experiences forge lasting memories</li><li><strong>Differentiates Brands</strong>: Sets travel companies apart from competitors.</li><li><strong>Boosts Repeat Bookings</strong>: Satisfied travelers are more likely to return and spread the word.</li></ul><h2>Transforming the Way the World Travels</h2><p>In 2025, every aspect of the traveler’s journey is being reimagined to be more personal, efficient, and enriching.<br>For travel companies ready to embrace this future, partnering with experts in translation and localization is crucial. Whether it’s booking a confirmation or fielding a customer service inquiry, ensuring every interaction is perfectly tuned to the needs of a global audience will set you apart.<br>Ready to elevate your travel brand in 2025? <a href="/industries/travel-hospitality" title="Transpefect">Reach out to ¾Åɫ’s expert team today</a> and discover how our solutions can drive your global success.</p></div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="t-post-info-author"> <div class="t-post-info-author-image"> </div> <div class="t-post-info-author-content"> <div class="field field--name-field-t-post-info-author-name field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">By ¾ÅÉ«</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-topic field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/blog/category/travel-hospitality" hreflang="en">Travel & Hospitality</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-industries-categories field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/resources/category/technology" hreflang="en">Technology</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/resources/category/travel-hospitality" hreflang="en">Travel & Hospitality</a></div> </div> Tue, 18 Feb 2025 07:04:25 +0000 jpressman 58145 at The 2025 European Accessibility Act - What it Means for the Travel Industry /resources/webinars/2025-european-accessibility-act <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">The 2025 European Accessibility Act - What it Means for the Travel Industry</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>jpressman</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2024-11-22T10:47:51-05:00" title="Friday, November 22, 2024 - 10:47" class="datetime">Fri, 11/22/2024 - 10:47</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Webinars</div> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-media-main field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__item"> <section id="paragraph-t_com_image-232816" class="wrapper-t_com_image"> <div class="clearfix paragraph com-image paragraph--type--t-com-image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="container"> <a href="/resources/webinars/2025-european-accessibility-act"> <div class="field field--name-field-t-com-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <picture> <source media="all and (min-width: 1201px)" type="image/jpeg" width="1920" height="1080" data-srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/responsive_image_2000/public/media/image/travel-webinar-2025.jpg?itok=C8Eq-xlY 1x"/> <source media="all and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px)" type="image/jpeg" width="1200" height="675" data-srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/responsive_image_1200/public/media/image/travel-webinar-2025.jpg?itok=lt0brnDW 1x"/> <source media="all and (min-width: 577px) and (max-width: 768px)" type="image/jpeg" width="768" height="432" data-srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/responsive_image_768/public/media/image/travel-webinar-2025.jpg?itok=OqLVTPHl 1x"/> <img loading="eager" width="1920" height="1080" alt="tpt-travel" class="lazyload" data-src="/sites/default/files/styles/responsive_image_2000/public/media/image/travel-webinar-2025.jpg?itok=C8Eq-xlY" /> </picture> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="field field--name-webform field--type-webform field--label-hidden field__item"><form class="webform-submission-form webform-submission-add-form webform-submission-webinar-request-form webform-submission-webinar-request-add-form webform-submission-webinar-request-node-56295-form webform-submission-webinar-request-node-56295-add-form js-webform-details-toggle webform-details-toggle" data-drupal-selector="resources-form-zoominfo" action="/taxonomy/term/15/feed" method="post" id="resources-form-zoominfo" accept-charset="UTF-8"> <div class="row gated-box-wrapper js-form-wrapper form-group" data-drupal-selector="edit-row" id="edit-row--2"><div class="col-md-6 js-form-wrapper form-group" data-drupal-selector="edit-flexbox" id="edit-flexbox--2"> <fieldset id="edit-markup--2" class="js-form-item js-form-type-webform-markup form-type-webform-markup js-form-item-markup form-item-markup form-no-label form-group"> <div class="gated-res-label">Access</div> <h2 class="field field--name-field-d-main-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Webinar</h2> <div id="image-replace">[img]</div> </fieldset> </div> <div class="col-md-6 js-form-wrapper form-group" data-drupal-selector="edit-flexbox-01" id="edit-flexbox-01--2"> <fieldset style="width:48%;

Since digital advancements never stop, implementing the latest techniques can help attract travelers worldwide. Digital marketing, particularly through video content, is a powerful avenue for reaching global audiences. Here are five ways businesses can effectively leverage video marketing to expand their reach. </span><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><h3>1. Embracing Cultural Diversity:<o:p></o:p></h3><p>This is ¾Åɫ’s bread and butter. If you are not already tapping into cultural differences in your digital marketing, we highly recommend and advise you start now. Why?<o:p></o:p></p><p>Let’s say you want to advertise booking flights or hotel rooms, and you do this via video. Imagine you share the same video promoting holiday deals to your audience in North America as you do in Asia. It may not resonate the same. It's crucial to consider cultural nuances and preferences to communicate effectively with diverse audiences. This may involve adapting language, imagery, and messaging to appeal to specific cultural sensibilities.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Even better—show you care and that you are listening. You can do this by celebrating diversity in your digital marketing. Showcase the multicultural aspects of travel destinations through video content. Highlight local customs, traditions, and festivals to appeal to travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences.</p><h3>2. Multilingual Content Strategy:<o:p></o:p></h3><p>Let’s take this a step further. Translating your <a href="/contentlabs?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=contentlabs-service-awareness&utm_adgroup=services&utm_content=content%20production&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw9IayBhBJEiwAVuc3fosKxvZyfx4U8Mp8ZYQ0G9v4DrS2UtwRehl3fpW8cr7EfwrQgVkNARoChyYQAvD_BwE"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">video content</span></a> into multiple languages to cater to international audiences can make all the difference. Consider hiring <a href="/solutions/content-creation-and-management/video-production"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">native speakers or professional translators</span></a> to ensure linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance. For example, if a <span lang="EN-GB" dir="ltr">hotel chain produces promotional videos for its properties in popular tourist destinations such as Paris, Tokyo, and Rio de Janeiro, each video should be translated and narrated in the local language to appeal to native speakers and ensure cultural authenticity.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p>Another example is incorporating <a href="/solutions/media/subtitling"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">subtitles or closed captions</span></a> in different languages to make your videos accessible to viewers who may speak languages other than the primary one used in the video. Take, for example, <span lang="EN-GB" dir="ltr">a tourism board that creates a video showcasing the natural beauty of its country's national parks. To make the video accessible to international audiences, subtitles could be added in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic.</span></p><h3>3. Leveraging Global Platforms:<o:p></o:p></h3><p>Don’t just <a href="https://www.transperfectdigital.com/"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">create a social presence</span></a>—make it international. Establish a strong presence on global social media platforms. For example, let’s say <span lang="EN-GB" dir="ltr">a luxury travel agency client maintains active profiles on platforms like WeChat (China), VKontakte (Russia), and Line (Japan) in addition to Facebook and Instagram. This agency clearly tailors its video content to suit the preferences and behaviors of users on each platform.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p>On a more granular level, consider geo-targeting capabilities to reach specific regions or countries with relevant video content. Adjust ad campaigns based on cultural factors, seasonal trends, and local events to maximize engagement and conversion.</p><h3>4. Collaborating with Global Influencers:<o:p></o:p></h3><p>A big one in 2024! Partner with <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2018/07/30/understanding-influencer-marketing-and-why-it-is-so-effective/"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">travel influencers</span></a> and content creators from different countries or regions to expand your reach globally. Choose influencers with strong followings in target markets who align with your brand values and messaging.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Or, let’s say that route isn’t the best choice for you. Consider co-creation opportunities: Involve international influencers in co-creating video content, allowing them to provide local insights and perspectives. This collaborative approach can help generate authentic and relatable content that resonates with diverse audiences.</p><h3>5. Engaging Global Communities:<o:p></o:p></h3><p>More and more, the digital landscape has been a catalyst and facilitator of <a href="https://hub.wtm.com/blog/social-media/building-a-community-with-your-travel-brand-why-is-it-important/"><span lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">community</span></a>. Incorporating and participating in online forums and communities frequented by worldwide travelers is huge for any business. Share valuable insights, answer questions, and provide assistance to establish your brand as a trusted authority in the global travel community.<o:p></o:p></p><p>You’ve likely heard this plenty of times, but it’s so important to encourage travelers to share their experiences through user-generated content campaigns. Create hashtags and challenges that encourage users to share their travel videos, photos, and stories to foster a sense of community and camaraderie among global travelers.</p><p>In an increasingly interconnected world, the potential for global expansion in the travel industry is immense. By embracing cultural diversity, adopting a multilingual content strategy, leveraging global platforms, collaborating with international influencers, and engaging with global communities, your business can effectively reach and resonate with travelers worldwide. Through strategic use of video marketing, businesses can inspire wanderlust, foster connections, and drive growth in the global travel market.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Want to learn more?

The industry continues to evolve in 2024, striving to meet the expectations of tech-savvy and environmentally conscious travelers. Come along as we explore four different trends and innovations shaping the airline industry this year.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">1. Sustainable Aviation Initiatives</h3> <p class="text-align-left">Sustainability remains a focal point for airlines in 2024. As we know, it takes a lot to get aircraft up and running. To work to reduce their carbon footprint, many airlines are investing in more fuel-efficient aircraft. The adoption of electric and hybrid planes is gaining momentum, promising to revolutionize air travel with quieter and cleaner flights. The electric airplane also <a href="https://www.toptal.com/finance/market-research-analysts/electric-airplanes">promises to reduce fuel</a> costs significantly (just how much is still up for debate) while simultaneously working at saving the planet from hazardous fuel waste. According to electric plane start-up <a href="https://www.ampaire.com/" target="_blank" title="https://www.ampaire.com/">Ampaire</a>, an electric aircraft can have a 90% reduction in fuel costs, a 50% cut in maintenance, 66% quieter takeoffs & landings, and 0% tailpipe emissions when compared to fossil fuel aircraft.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">2. Advanced In-Flight Entertainment Systems</h3> <p class="text-align-left">With the global in-flight entertainment system market size valued at USD 5.96 billion in 2022 and projected to be USD <a href="https://www.skyquestt.com/report/in-flight-entertainment-system-market#:~:text=Global%20In%2DFlight%20Entertainment%20System%20Market%20Insights,period%20(2023%2D2030).">12.29 billion by 2030</a>, in-flight entertainment is taking a leap forward. Airlines are enhancing their entertainment systems with augmented and virtual reality experiences, allowing passengers to immerse themselves in interactive content and games. This is particularly popular with extra-long flights. Connectivity is getting a boost, too, with more airlines offering high-speed Wi-Fi and even the potential for in-flight VR meetings and conferencing.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">3. Biometric Technology for Seamless Travel</h3> <p class="text-align-left">By biometric technology, we are referring to <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412021003445#b0145">facial recognition used to confirm passenger identity</a> at airports. 2023 witnessed an increased adoption of biometric technology for smoother and more secure travel experiences. Facial recognition and fingerprint scanning are being used for streamlined check-in, security clearance, and boarding processes. This may turn some people off, but this innovative approach is eliminating the need for manual checks, leading <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/top-10-underrated-benefits-airport-biometrics-travel-imran-qureshi/">to significantly reduced wait times</a> and a clear increase in efficiency.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">4. Personalized and Data-Driven Services</h3> <p class="text-align-left">Airlines are increasingly harnessing data and AI to offer personalized services. Passengers can now expect customized travel recommendations from seat preferences to meal options. Predictive maintenance powered by AI is helping airlines ensure that planes are in top condition and reduce flight delays. Imagine an airport where real-time insights can predict flight delays, optimize ground operations, and personalize passenger experiences. That’s the power of being data-driven. By adopting the right mindset, <a href="https://worldaviationfestival.com/blog/airlines/modern-data-strategy-elevating-the-airport-and-airline-industry/#:~:text=New%20technologies%2C%20like%20generative%20AI,power%20of%20being%20data%2Ddriven.">data-driven organizations</a> can:</p> <ul> <li class="text-align-left">Create compelling new customer experiences</li> <li class="text-align-left">Unlock new revenue streams</li> <li class="text-align-left">Differentiate themselves from competitors</li> </ul> <p class="text-align-left">The airline industry in 2024 is marked by a commitment to sustainability, a focus on passenger safety, and a dedication to enhancing the travel experience.

We expect 2024 will throw many new challenges at the industry, so we’re predicting the top trends for the coming year that travel businesses around the world should pay attention to.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">Prioritizing experiences</h3> <p class="text-align-left">An emerging theme that <a href="https://stories.hilton.com/2024trends">Hilton</a> discovered in its latest trends report is that 85% of travelers are prioritizing cultural connections, dining, and experiences in general when booking trips, with 81% looking forward to the unknown. This is something that travel businesses should capitalize on when marketing their services or destinations, particularly with 52% of people looking to reduce spending in other areas of their life to prioritize travel. Gen Z (72%) and Millennials (71%) are planning to spend more on travel in 2024 despite the ongoing economic uncertainty.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">Sustainability is still top of mind</h3> <p class="text-align-left">This is not necessarily a new trend, as <a href="https://www.countryandtownhouse.com/travel/ecotourism/">sustainability</a> has been top of mind for consumers and businesses for a while. But heightened environmental awareness, particularly around sustainable and eco-conscious travel, is becoming even more common on a global scale. As travelers have become more mindful of their ecological footprint, they are seeking ways to explore the world while treading lightly on the Earth—so much so that roughly 76% of travelers want to travel in a greener way in the next 12 months, and roughly 70% of tourists are willing to pay extra for eco-friendly accommodations.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">Hyper-personalization is expected by travelers</h3> <p class="text-align-left">Travelers are expecting more and more when it comes to personalization, and businesses need to tap into all available data sources to be able to meet this growing need. <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-personalization#:~:text=McKinsey%20research%20shows%20that%2071,for%20personalization%20in%20the%20future?" target="_blank" title="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-personalization#:~:text=McKinsey%20research%20shows%20that%2071,for%20personalization%20in%20the%20future?">According to research by McKinsey</a>, 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalised interactions, and 76% get frustrated when this doesn’t happen. Particularly with <a href="https://blog.google/products/chrome/privacy-sandbox-tracking-protection/">Google’</a>s phasing out of third-party cookies, there’s been a shift toward utilizing first- and second-party data collection, focused more on the direct relationships with customers. By leveraging this information, brands can craft highly personalized travel experiences, tailoring recommendations and content to individual preferences. Travel companies need to invest in robust data strategies to gain insights, anticipate needs, enhance engagement, and build trust in an era where personalized, targeted interactions are paramount.</p> <h3 class="text-align-left">Tech advancements enhancing the travel experience</h3> <p class="text-align-left">Technology is constantly evolving, particularly in the travel industry. Travelers are becoming used to more seamless journeys and expecting more from their travel providers. From AI-powered travel assistants creating customized itineraries to <a href="https://solar-digital.com/blog/technology-trends-in-the-travel-and-hospitality-industry">contactless payment</a> and check-in technologies and biometric security systems, 2024 will see businesses trying out new methods of making things easier for travelers around the world.</p> <p class="text-align-left"> </p> <p class="text-align-left">The future of the travel industry is marked by dynamic shifts and innovative trends. As technology, sustainability, and consumer preferences continue to evolve, businesses embracing these trends are poised to foster loyalty, increase bookings, and stand out in a competitive market.
