Key Industry Insights

Driver

Growth of Mobile-Based Travel Bookings

The new methodology in the travel business uses mobile phones to complete booking forms, allowing users to plan without travelling. With the increase in smartphone and internet use, travellers can book flights, hotels, and activities through apps and websites. In 2023, more than 850 million people used travel apps, with downloads exceeding 2.8 billion in 2024, improving the booking experience and providing personalized recommendations.

Restraint

High Competition and Price Sensitivity

The online travel industry is marked by intense competition and price sensitivity, creating a challenging environment for companies. Consumers are overwhelmed by numerous options for travel packages, compelling them to seek the best deals. As companies struggle to compete on price, profit margins diminish, leading to reduced investments in service enhancement, customer experience, and innovation. This relentless focus on pricing pressures firms to lower their offers, risking both profitability and differentiation in the marketplace. The industry’s competitive landscape may hinder overall growth and development.

Opportunity

Rising Adoption of AI & Chatbots

The travel industry is increasingly benefiting from artificial intelligence, particularly through bots. The sector is optimistic about AI’s impact on online business. By offering near-personalized planning, real-time support, and constant recommendations, AI tools improve the customer experience. Chatbots manage bookings and customer support around the clock. For example, Booking Holdings has seen its revenue increase thanks to AI initiatives like the AI ​​Trip Planner. AI is also transforming data analysis, allowing companies to better understand user preferences and optimize their services.

Challenge

Disruptions from Direct Airline & Hotel Bookings

Disruption owing to bookings made by customers directly with airlines and hotels has turned into a serious challenge for the online travel industry. The travel agencies on the one hand lose commissions from bookings, while on the other, they lose revenue control because airlines and hotels offer special deals and loyalty programs to customers who book directly on their sites. Directly booked hotels and airlines degrade the online travel agencies’ role, increasing customer acquisition costs and making it difficult for them to compete. Direct bookings enhance personalized services, thus undermining the traditional OTA business model and swaying customer loyalty towards the airlines and hotels.
