"How to impress your hotel guests with new technology direct to the palm of their hands"
.

“The travel industry is moving towards an increasingly connected future in which platforms, personalisation and integrated technology play a central role. Predictions for the near future are a wake up call for all incumbent businesses.” Pace Dimensions.

With travel and tourism continuing to be a high growth industry and the increase of digitisation, the level of competition is becoming greater. To take full advantage of this and to stand out from the crowd, digital readiness will be the greatest differentiator amongst the competition.

“Over the coming decade from 2016-2025, the digitisation of aviation, travel and tourism is expected to create up to $305 billion in industry value. This will come from increased productivity of people and assets, increased demand for personalised products and services and new efficiencies from sharing models.” Pace Dimensions.

So, the important question is not if your business will change, but how?

Did you know that one in five hotel bookings made in the second half of 2016 was booked using a smartphone and smartphone ownership is now above 70% in the UK?

Recent research by Google shows that the amount of time being spent on researching trips using mobile devices is on the rise. Travellers are now using their phones for very specific detailed research before making any bookings. With visit session times shrinking and conversion rates rising by nearly 10% on mobile travel sites, the conclusion is that if travellers don’t find the relevant information quickly enough they are moving on to another site or app.

Customer Expectations

With the rise of this digital era, consumers are being more empowered every day. With limitless information and their fingertips they are able to make informed decisions before making the ultimate purchasing decision. All of this results in high customer expectations.

User Experience (or UX) is now the key to customer retention and positive recommendation and an important part of creating the best user experience is creating trust in your brand and services, personalisation and ease of fulfillment.

In an era where the choice is endless and customers are very aware of the possibility of being cheated, established brands can be successful by making the decision making and buying journey straight forward for their customers.

“Customers are becoming accustomed to controlling their life from the palm of their hand, from their smartphone. The expectation of being able to do that in other parts of their life should carry through to travel, either on business or for leisure.” Chris Silcock EVP & CCO, Hilton
