Digital Platforms to Dominate Global Travel

Mobile Usage and Digital Tools Lead the Transformation

A key driver of growth in the online travel market is the increasing reliance on mobile devices for travel research and bookings. In 2023, mobile accounted for over 65% of traffic to travel and hospitality websites. This shift underscores the need for travel companies to optimize their digital platforms to meet the demands of a mobile-first audience. Mobile technology is particularly important for last-minute travel decisions, with many travelers using their devices to make bookings close to their departure date.

AI and Personalization Enhance Customer Experience

The report also highlights the growing role of AI and data-driven personalization in the travel industry. AI tools are being used to offer tailored recommendations, streamline customer service, and optimize pricing strategies. In early 2024, around 20% of travelers in South Korea and in Germany reported using AI for travel planning, finding it particularly helpful for comparing options and making informed decisions. The integration of AI is expected to play an increasingly important role in simplifying travel planning and enhancing the customer experience.
