By Amadeus
Sunday, 8th July 2018
 

Travelers make decisions for many different reasons, some rational and others more emotional, the complex web of underlying social and emotional drivers often collide with the more considered and rational impulses: What can the travel industry do to better serve travelers then?.

Unlike many other industries, travel can inspire people. Through greater collaboration and offering more extensive options, travel companies have an opportunity to build the experiences travelers want.

Now the challenge is to present travelers with inspiring and personalized offers, in a way that can be easily scaled.

The industry needs to be able to bridge the gap between travelers’ motivations and how it offers services.

From an innovation perspective, advances in technologies, approaches and techniques can support the industry to adapt to the needs of travelers today and in the future.
