It took near a decade of forward thinking, but now #ViatorTravel has out profited, and the outlook is for the rest of 2023 as well, TripAdvisor’s hotel meta arm. And we can see why. The power of your dollar from 15 years ago, unfortunately, has dipped by 4.8% under inflation and shows no signs of slowing. The duopolies of Expedia and Booking.com have not read the economic room and instead focused on loyalty deals that are very limited in value for the consumer struggling for some staycation time. Facts are this: American foreign tourists are down 20%. Australia down 34%. Consumers now want travel experiences, either in their own backyard or Interstate. We cater for you. Meta search companies want your hotel dollar money, but it’s slowing fast, and they don’t know what to do about that right now. That’s where we hopefully can come in.

This one is interesting to note. Year on year to July, APAC spending on travel increased 53%. Compared to just 3% for Americans. Another interesting piece is relaxation and well-bring day experiences have overridden the adventure experiences. Travellers want brain food and not braun food. And yet, nothing has changed in terms of booking. Australians have learned three months for the trip… Three days for the day experience. Now that is smart travel 🧳
