Digital Platforms and the Future of Tourism

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• The tourism industry is vital to the growth of the majority of developing economies, with the potential to create millions of jobs and promote entrepreneurship and innovation.
• Digital technologies have the potential to give small tourism businesses in emerging destinations direct access to a global market of travel consumers for the first time, vastly expanding their prospects.
• To celebrate World Tourism Day, the World Bank Group, together with partners, are exploring how digital advances can be used to benefit sustainable tourism for development.

Tourism is one of the fastest growing and most important economic sectors in the world providing benefits to both host communities and destination areas. In 2017, international tourist arrivals reached a new record high at over 1.3 billion according to the latest UNWTO Tourism Highlights . The sector has now seen uninterrupted growth in arrivals for eight straight years. It also represents 10.4% of GDP and in 2017 the tourism industry supported 313 million jobs or 1 in 10 jobs globally.

Tourism also provides better opportunities for women’s participation in the workforce, women’s entrepreneurship, and women’s leadership than other sectors of the economy.

That is why the World Bank Group continues to be committed to invest funds, knowledge and expertise to support tourism for development.

• As a part of the World Bank Growth & Competitiveness Project in the Gambia, a hospitality training center trained 1,235 students and helped increase arrivals by tourists from non-traditional markets by 71% between 2011 and 2015.
• In Peru, an IFC Advisory project financed by SECO (Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs – Economic Cooperation and Development) helped streamline procedures for obtaining licenses and permits to start and operate tourism businesses in Cusco. The reforms eliminated 150 unnecessary processes and shaved three years off the business registration process, making it easier for both local and foreign investors to operate in Cusco.
• A World Bank Group report on the 20 Reasons Sustainable Tourism Counts for Development explains how sustainable tourism counts not just for travelers, but for tourism destinations and local residents.
• The World Bank Group developed the Abraham Path project to bring together fragmented communities along the path in the West Bank through many interventions like training and capacity, which were aimed at generating tourism revenue and jobs, and improving economic opportunities for women. The project has generated 137 jobs, 57% going to women.

Digital technologies and platforms are disrupting the way the tourism sector operates from end to end.   Many low-income economies can potentially benefit from this digital transformation and others are at risk of being left behind if they fail to embrace this moment.

The World Bank Group recently published two reports on the significance of this disruption on tourism and how countries can harness it for the benefit of all. According to the report, Tourism and the Sharing Economy , the annual growth rate for the global P2P accommodation is estimated at 31 percent between 2013 and 2025, six times the growth rate of traditional bed and breakfasts and hostels.

In addition, the second report, The Voice of Travelers , produced in collaboration with TripAdvisor explains how peer reviews and other forms of user-generated content (UGC), facilitated by digital platforms, have become the most important sources of travel information globally—more important than tourism boards and traditional outlets. This joint report is part of an MoU that was signed by the World Bank Group and TripAdvisor to promote the development of the tourism sector that highlights some of the key digital trends impacting the sector to countries and private sector partners.

This year, World Tourism Day is shining a light on “Tourism and the Digital Transformation” — as its theme. The UNWTO is calling on governments and the global community, to “support digital technologies that can transform the way we travel, reduce the ecological burden of tourism and bring the benefits of tourism to all.”  

They also can provide new opportunities for women and rural entrepreneurs to improve their market access and financial inclusion. However, many developing destinations have limited knowledge on how to take advantage of digital platforms and mitigate risks. Either constrained by the lack of understanding or knowhow and resources, these economies are not able to leverage digital tools to grow their tourism.

Responding to the global call to promote innovations in tourism through technology, the World Bank Group, will host a day-long event just prior to WTD2018 focusing on Digital Platforms and the Future of Tourism .

The Role of Technology in Tourism Marketing in 2024

Vanessa Friedman

• January 16, 2024

Explore the transformative power of digital marketing in tourism with our insightful article. Delve into how technologies like AI, data analytics, and virtual reality are reshaping travel promotion.

From sponsored advertising to interactive billboards, new technologies mean that the average person sees more than 5,000 ads daily . And while data science, FinTech, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality are hardly new concepts, they continue to bring new twists and turns to all areas of business, particularly marketing.

In a new article, we tell you what role technology is playing in tourism marketing and what the future holds for the world.

The Paradigm Shift: From Traditional to Digital

In the current scenario, digital marketing has surpassed traditional methods, allowing tourism brands to expand their reach exponentially. Digital campaigns that offer real-time interactions and personalization have redefined the relationship between businesses and travelers.

Digital media has changed the way travelers seek inspiration and plan their adventures. Social networks such as Instagram and travel blogs have become sources of ideas and exploration.

The quest for genuine and exciting experiences has led travel destinations to compete to capture travelers' imaginations with visually captivating content and authentic narratives.

Personalization: creating tailored experiences

Digital marketing has brought personalization to the center of tourism strategies. Companies use data analytics to deliver experiences and offers tailored to travelers' individual preferences. Personalization is not just a strategy but a way to connect emotionally with travelers and build strong relationships. These personalized connections increase customer satisfaction and influence booking decisions and long-term loyalty.

Bookatrekking - hiking company with a top-notch marketing approach

Bookatrekking is a trailblazer in the hiking industry by seamlessly integrating AI for personalization, data analytics for customer insights, and robust SEO and content marketing strategies. This innovative approach enhances the customer experience and solidifies Bookatrekking's position as a leader in the hiking market.

Bookatrekking harnesses the power of data analytics to gain valuable insights into customer behavior and market trends. The company comprehensively understands customer preferences, popular trekking destinations, and emerging travel patterns by analyzing user interactions on the website and social media platforms.

Through data-driven decision-making, Bookatrekking can refine its marketing strategies, optimize trekking package offerings, and identify untapped markets. Customer feedback is analyzed in real-time, allowing the company to promptly address concerns and continuously improve the overall customer experience.

Bookatrekking also excels in SEO and content marketing, ensuring that its online presence remains robust and authoritative. The main focus is on creating quality and engaging blog content. This way, they ensure potential clients have all the necessary information about the specific hiking routes. For example, if you want to go for a Tre Cime Hike, you can read their Tre Cime Hike article and get to know everything about it. It showcases its trekking destinations and provides valuable information for adventure enthusiasts.

Through comprehensive keyword research, Bookatrekking optimizes its website content and blog posts to rank prominently in search engine results. Engaging content attracts potential customers and establishes Bookatrekking as an authoritative voice in the trekking and adventure travel niche.

Successful digital marketing strategies in tourism

New technologies greatly change the tourism marketing domain.

Impactful visual content: the key to awakening traveler emotions

In a world saturated with information, visual content is essential to capture travelers' attention. Images and videos instantly convey the essence of a destination, awakening emotions, and travel angels. Visual platforms such as Instagram and YouTube offer virtual windows into far-flung destinations and exciting adventures.

Visual content is the vehicle that transports travelers to remote places and extraordinary experiences.

Authenticity is the key to creating impactful visual content. Images that reflect the true essence of a place and travelers' real experiences generate a genuine connection.

Every image tells a story, and that story resonates with travelers who are looking for authenticity in their adventures.

Social media interaction: building passionate traveler communities

Social networks are spaces where tourism brands can establish authentic connections with travelers. Through two-way interactions, companies can create an authentic and engaged voice.

Brands that come across as real and human on social networks can build meaningful relationships with travelers. Humanizing the brand through behind-the-scenes content and personal narratives creates a closer relationship with followers.

Social media has also given rise to influencer marketing. Collaborations with digital influencers make reaching wider and more trusted audiences possible.

Influencers bring authenticity and trustworthiness to brands, as their audience trusts their recommendations. These strategic collaborations allow brands to reach new audiences credibly.

Mobile optimization: accessibility and convenience in the palm of your hand

Optimizing for mobile devices is essential in a world where travelers research and book on the go.

Mobile optimization goes beyond aesthetics; it's about delivering a seamless and comfortable experience for users. Tourism companies must ensure that their websites and apps are adapted to smaller screens and offer intuitive navigation.

Geolocation is a key feature of mobile optimization. Brands can offer relevant information based on the user's location, making it easier to explore nearby destinations and activities.

Geolocation transforms the way travelers discover places and experiences, providing personalized information in real time.

Future of tourism marketing: innovation and challenges

As tourism marketing looks to the future, it faces exciting opportunities and crucial challenges. Artificial intelligence is emerging as a tool for personalization, allowing companies to create tailored trips and anticipate travelers' needs.

AI has the potential to transform the way travel is planned and experienced, providing travelers with a more personalized and efficient experience.

However, technological innovation also raises ethical concerns and privacy challenges.

Companies must balance data collection with traveler privacy, establishing clear and transparent guidelines for handling information. Customer trust is essential in a constantly evolving digital environment.

We find a symphony of possibilities in the fabric of digital marketing in tourism promotion. From the transformation of the traditional to personalization and emerging technology, we have explored how this revolution has changed the foundations of the travel industry. Digital marketing is no longer optional but vital for building authentic connections with modern travelers.
