Personalisation has become a vital tool for marketers in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries, but many are still missing out on the best ways to implement it across their websites.

This article will give you a detailed understanding of personalisation so you can begin taking advantage of the opportunities and benefits for your own business.

Technology Trends for Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality

Recent technology trends have significantly changed how consumers want to access and interact with brands in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.

With so much business shifting to a digital-first context, and your buyers’ journey becoming increasingly complex, providing an outstanding online customer experience has never been more important.

We all know that most consumers today will do plenty of research into multiple brands, products, and services online before buying anything. They also want to book things like flights, hotels, experiences, and restaurants online without ever speaking to a member of your team.

Those stages of browsing and researching online are a great opportunity to be taken advantage of by capturing your audience’s attention and drawing them into your website.

However, with so much bite-sized content consumed every day on platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn, your audience’s attention span has also decreased radically as well. This has given you even more difficulty when trying to stand out from the crowd and retain their interest.

Thankfully, these challenges can be eased, and solved, by harnessing the potential of a particular method of marketing that has risen to prominence over the last few years.

The Power of Personalisation in Modern Marketing

These trends – among others – have made it essential for all businesses to provide customers with personalised content, services, and user experiences (UX) online, tailored specifically to each individual’s preferences.

Of course, this is nothing new. We’re all familiar with having our search engine results, social media content, and online ads shown to us specifically because of things we’ve clicked or searched for in the past.

In fact, 71% of consumers reportedly expect personalisation these days, and 76% even get frustrated when a website has no personalisation.

It’s clear then that personalisation in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries has become less of a “nice-to-have” and more of a necessity these days. And, like most businesses, you’re likely already providing some level of personalised interactions to your target audience.

But there’s a great deal of untapped potential here that can deliver significant advantages when done strategically. So, let’s take a closer look at how personalisation works and how you can leverage it to attract more customers.
