Travel Companies Adapt to a Livestreaming Trend That May Outlast the Pandemic

Sean O'Neill, Skift

October 26th, 2020 at 12:00 PM EDT

The pandemic rapidly sped up a trend in livestreams. But the early success of Trip.com Group's and Alibaba Group's Fliggy webcasts marketing travel suggests that the phenomenon is here to stay.

Livestreaming has been around for years, but only a few travel companies and organizations have embraced it with vigor and generated significant bookings.

A rare travel success story is Trip.com Group, China’s largest travel company. Its co-founder and chairman of the board, James Jianzhang Liang, has done more than 25 weekly live streams since March. Liang’s webcasts have sold $294 million of travel packages and hotel room reservations.

Many travel companies worldwide have done live streams this year, especially experiences operators and museums . But some have done a better job of building awareness or making money than others, as we heard from several speakers during Skift Forum Asia earlier this month.

Livestreaming may not be the fad that some people assume it is. Consider that China has seen a notable rebound, though not complete recovery, in its domestic tourism. Yet the relaxation of stay-at-home restrictions didn’t stop the popularity of livestreams. Trip.com Group reports that viewership and bookings have continued to grow over time rather than the opposite. That fact suggests that the livestreaming trend may outlast the pandemic.

Klook , an online agency for travel and local experiences, debuted a mobile-friendly live stream feature in late September. By offering exclusive promotion codes on tours, restaurants, and other offerings, the Hong Kong-based startup was able to drive bookings. Some staycation deals sold out in minutes.

Klook COO and Co-Founder Eric Gnock Fah said at Skift Forum Asia that the events have been popular.

“In one of the live stream events, we had more than 350,000 exchanges with the viewers in that one hour,” Gnock Fah said. “We saw a four times uplift in conversions on experiences that we were featuring.”

Tourism organizations in North America and Europe tend to take a lackadaisical approach to live-streaming. They point webcams at animals in zoos or run webinars with panels of guests.

Given the vacuum of brand-created livestreams, audiences gravitate instead toward user-generated livestreams. A case in point is the “where in the world” channel on the online forum Reddit . It features a rotating series of live streams, such as a recent bus ride through Nairobi and a trip outdoors during a rainstorm in Texas.

A more professional approach to live-streaming by travel brands can deliver better results. Examples show the value of playing up the entertainment factor and being willing to sound a bit like a cheesy infomercial. Loosening up appears to work well in live video right now. Ctrip’s Liang often acts silly in his videos, dressing up in costumes or engaging in light banter with guests at destinations he visits in person.

To be sure, Ctrip and Trip.com has been able to ride a broader China’s national fascination with live streams that’s been around since 2015. The country has more than 200 live-streaming apps and services. About a third of the country’s internet users watched an e-commerce-based live stream last year, estimated China Internet Network Information Center . Mass-market platforms like Douyin , which owns TikTok, and Tencent’s WeChat lead the pack in impressions.

Yet there are also travel-specific platforms. Trip.com Group has built a live-streaming platform with engagement tools. Its webcasts support English, traditional and simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

E-commerce giant Alibaba’s travel brand Fliggy has rolled out hundreds of travel-themed live-streaming shows since February. The Shanghai-based online travel agency has held virtual tours led by Chinese-speaking guides of the British Museum, the Louvre, and the Prado.

It matters what tech a company uses. Enabling audience interaction helps boost engagement. Examples include having a comments section, running audience polls, or running question-and-answer sessions. Most of all, it’s critical to have a straightforward way for customers to click and buy the travel shown in the live-stream.

Putting in the work can pay dividends. Trip.com Group said its live streams have so far sold travel products in the mid- to the high-end range for China’s domestic market. Transactions averaged $180 (1,200 renminbi). More than 60 percent of customers made repeat purchases throughout one or more of its live-streaming sessions. The webcasts had more than 100 million cumulative views this year.

On November 8, the Japanese National Tourism Organization will live-stream a tourism promotion event from Okinawa on Facebook. The broadcast will be targeting users in Australia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in light of Japan’s plans to lift a ban on overseas travel between it and several of those countries next month. The broadcast will include a live folksong performance and a quiz event, mixed with pre-recorded footage of the island’s charms. The organization plans to offer live streams once a month through March as a test.

Livestreaming on many platforms at once is possible with the help of software, such as OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). Having a high-quality camera and internet connection are keys. In August, camera maker GoPro made it possible for more than 400,000 subscribers to a premium service to live stream from their higher-end GoPro cameras on GoPro.com and then text the live stream link to their family and friends.

On October 29, Alibaba’s travel services platform Fliggy and Jing Travel will have a webinar on live streaming, with an aim of offering strategic and tactical advice. Jing Travel has intensely covered the livestreaming trend. You can also learn more about the livestream trend by watching the on-demand recording of Skift Forum Asia .

Work, Travel, Save, Repeat

Work + travel, repeat.

We are an Austrian-Mexican couple addicted to Vitamin Sea and adventurous places off the typical tourist path.

As we’ve traveled the world, we’ve noticed very little (accurate) information online tailored to digital nomads. In addition, much of it was no longer up to date as the world has changed a lot since Covid-19 and the crises we are currently in.

That’s why we made it our mission to give people in the same situation as us the information they need. Either before deciding to go to a place or while living there.

Because we believe in a Work Voyage Balance.

We have lived in each country we are blogging about for at least a month.

We are the kind of travelers who like to self-organize our trips to discover more and travel at our own pace rather than joining fully organized tours.

When we visit a new country, we usually pick one place as the basis from which we work. When we have free days in between, we use them to explore the rest of the country.

We also want to guide you on how you can travel responsibly and sustainably in the locations we’ve traveled to.

After making a brief cameo in Wiig's monologue the weekend prior,  The Fall Guy   star Ryan Gosling returned to Studio 8H and delivered a perfect episode, cold-opening with a fresh installment of his recurring " Close Encounters " sketch with Kate McKinnon   and  revived his ponytailed font hater from his 2017 "Papyrus" short with Kyle Mooney. 

And then there was the "Beavis and Butt-Head" sketch that had everyone cracking up —even  the cast .

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Commission proposed Thursday to start negotiations with the United Kingdom to allow young people to move freely, work and study in both regions after Brexit — the U.K.'s departure from the EU four years ago.

According to the EU, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU following a referendum in 2016 has damaged mobility between the two areas.

“This situation has particularly affected the opportunities for young people to experience life on the other side of the Channel and to benefit from youth, cultural, educational, research and training exchanges,” the Commission said.

When the U.K. was still a member of the economic and political bloc, its nationals had the right to live and work freely in the EU, with reciprocity for EU nationals in the U.K. Under the agreement proposed by the EU’s executive arm, EU and UK citizens between 18 and 30 years old would be eligible to stay up to four years in the destination country.

The deal would also allow equal treatment of EU and UK students in the field of university tuition fees. Most EU students must now pay international tuition fees if they want to study in the U.K. The Commission says these vary between 11,400 and 38,000 pounds ($14,200-$47,300) per year and are a strong deterrent for EU students who generally don’t have to pay as much within the bloc.

The Commission’s recommendation will be discussed by EU member countries who must give the green light before the executive arm can start negotiations with the UK.

“We have successful Youth Mobility Schemes with 13 countries, including Australia and New Zealand, and remain open to agreeing them with our international partners, including EU member states,” the British government said in a statement.

The U.K. has its own Youth Mobility Scheme, which it has offered to some EU member states. The Commission believes the British plan is less ambitious than its own proposal.

“Our agreements provide a valuable route for cultural exchanges providing partner countries are also willing to offer the same opportunities for young British people,” the British government added.
