70%

of travellers prefer to use mobile apps to plan and book trips, and more than three quarters want a single digital experience that combines bookings, payments and loyalty

Trusted by leading brands in Travel & Tourism 

The sector has recovered. But journeys are still broken.

Travel, accommodation and leisure brands are under pressure like never before:

  • Customers research more and compare more

  • Expectations for digital experiences are higher

  • Acquisition costs are rising

  • Teams are stretched

  • Technology stacks are fragmented

The result?
Longer consideration times. Lost bookings. Missed upsell. Weak loyalty. Operational strain.

This report explores why this is happening and what progressive organisations are doing differently.

Guest Experience is no longer a “nice to have”. It’s a commercial advantage.

Today’s customers don’t see separate brands for travel, accommodation and leisure.
They see one journey.

And when that journey is: Joined up, Personalised, Mobile-first and Frictionless.

Organisations see:
✔ Earlier bookings
✔ Higher conversion
✔ Increased in-stay spend
✔ Stronger loyalty and repeat visits

This report shows how to design for that reality.
