How travel and tourism industry is tapping into trusted apps

Travel brands understand that it is important to target their audience through mediums they already trust and are seamlessly a part of their everyday lives.

A popular luxury resort and hotel management company promoted itself on the MyGate app, through Pulse – one of its features that allows brands to tell their story, promote offers and run contests. Another Indian online travel and tourism brand took advantage of the app’s Interstitial feature, and took their audience on a visual tour of their product or service with a carousel post. Another tourism industry made use of PAC (Post-Approval Card) and Spotlight to maximise their reach. In another instance, one of India’s top travel & tourism brands set up a kiosk in societies and offered audience on-site offers.

Travel Industry has been Digitised

A travel plan today is just a few taps away – no calling multiple places, organising dates, keeping track of all the information and meticulous folding of tickets into carefully remembered pages of a book. Also, recent technological advancements in 360-degree photography, virtual reality, travel and food blogs on social media platforms and their advertisements on apps, have completely changed how we approach travel.

According to a study, around 95% of travellers use apps on their phones to work out their travel plans during the phase when they’re just dreaming about their new travel destination. Out of this, around 78% are business travellers and 67% are general travellers. These travellers are then assisted by these platforms to plan and book tickets to their dream destinations so that they can experience their trip most exquisitely.
