Use and importance of analytical strategies in the travel and hospitality domain. This relatively recent development presents both a unique challenge and an extraordinary opportunity. An opportunity that many brands are not fully capitalizing on. We travel to connect, detach, explore and experience the world outside our homes. Some of us travel for business while others travel to discover themselves.
Let's see how.

24. Key Concepts
Review Metrics
The likelihood a traveller will spend
more depends on their position in
the purchase funnel and other
variables. Look for opportunities to
display specific offers at specific
times to specific visitors based on
their trip, preferred mode of
transportation, and device.
Look for new ways to display
upsells and cross-sells
Throughout the purchase funnel,
create innovative ways to get
visitors engage with ancillary offers.
For instance, displaying upgrade
options while travelers are choosing
their seats during booking can be
an effective way to expose relevant
visitors to the offer and drive
additional revenues.
Take a complete view of your
user journey online and offline.
Context matters: A visitors who is
planning a trip to Las Vegas would
likely to be interested in deluxe
package offers including fine dining.
Meanwhile, a traveler heading to
Sioux City might not expector want
to be upsold, as the trip is more
likely to be for a functional purpose
(family gathering, etc) than a
getaway.
