While Expedia, makemytrip scrambles to predict tomorrow’s trends, you already know where your clients want to go in the next year or next quarter.
Amid all the buzz about AI in trip-planning, it’s time to recognize the secret weapon in your back pocket: your own client data.
Data advantage that you did not know about or did not capitalize
For example, any small or a medium sizzed travel agent has at least worked with 300 loyal travelers—each has a bucket-list of 3–4 dream trips. That’s roughly 1,000 future vacations, if you count some in common then still you have ~100 favorite destinations that people want to go to depending on budget, style, and season. What you do today, client is ready to go on vacation, you start making a itinerary when you already knew last year they were thinking of some destinations. You did not give them samples then and there because making sample itineraries was tedious, time consuming and lot of work. But now things have changed, read on to know how..
Contrast with OTAs:
By contrast, online giants see only what you book today. They have zero insight into where your clients are planning next quarter, let alone next year.
