The global travel distribution landscape has undergone an unprecedented transformation due to the health emergency. To navigate this new environment, AIGO, in collaboration with the international network Travel Consul, has conducted an in-depth research project involving over 900 industry professionals. The goal is to analyze how travel distribution has shifted and identify the fundamental pillars required for the recovery of the tourism sector on both a global and local scale.
Research on Travel Distribution: Data from the Trade
The survey, conducted in 2020, analyzed the sentiment and strategies of major market players. Thanks to the support of Travel Consul, a global network specializing in tourism marketing and representation, it was possible to gain a comprehensive view of the challenges facing the supply chain.
The contribution from Italy was particularly decisive: 151 national trade professionals participated in the panel, providing a detailed look at how travel distribution in the Mediterranean market is responding to the crisis. This data is essential for anyone operating in the sector who wishes to plan secure investments based on verified market trends
Impact and Forecasts for Travel Distribution
The study focuses on four crucial thematic areas that every tour operator and travel agent should explore in depth:
-
Economic Analysis and Losses: An evaluation of the measures adopted to mitigate the financial impact on travel distribution.
-
Traveler Behavior: A study of the new consumption habits of travelers and future booking trends.
-
Marketing Strategies for Recovery: Which tools to activate to reconnect with the end customer effectively.
-
Innovation of the Distribution Model: Identifying the success factors that will ensure the long-term survival of tourism businesses.
