The Booking is Just the Beginning

Personalization, loyalty and the new rules of discovery

Travel is having a moment, but it's not the moment we're used to. Total US travel spend is on track to hit $1.37 trillion. Look closer, though, and it's a two-speed industry: Luxury and premium segments are thriving while budget-conscious travelers are squeezed by rising costs. Everyone's spending more, but not everyone's spending happily.

Meanwhile, the booking journey itself has changed. Transactions happen on Instagram and TikTok. Loyalty programs are getting a reality check. AI is expected everywhere. Travelers are trading emotional brand affinity for the simple question: Does this make my life easier?

At this spring's Travel & Hospitality Insider Summit, we'll dig into what it takes to earn a traveler's trust and their dollar in a market that's both booming and bifurcated. Because the traveler isn't just choosing a destination anymore, they're choosing you.
