Cloudscene Helps Travel Industry Save as it’s Hit Hard by COVID-19
After struggling through COVID for over two years, the main priority for the travel sector is to mitigate further revenue losses. Cloudscene has helped dozens of travel and tourism organizations save up to 40% on their circuit costs, which is ideal as the industry prepares for a significant increase in demand later in the year.
We know it’s been a while, but remember travel? Before COVID, the tourism and travel industry accounted for over 320 million jobs around the world and 10% of global GDP. The pandemic has put millions of jobs, corporations, and even national economies in precarious financial positions due to the contact-heavy nature of the industry. Fortunately, this grim depiction is not the end of the story.
Like many sectors, the tourism industry has plugged in and turned to digital solutions to help reduce costs and get back on its feet. When surveyed, 65% of US travellers said they felt safer when their accommodation used the latest technologies in their operations; even more certain were Indian respondents, with 81% saying so. Another finding was that over half of hotel guests surveyed said they would prefer to check-in and out electronically using a hotels app than risk the physical interaction.
So what do these figures mean for Tourism and Travel enterprises? It means that first-rate network and connectivity services are no longer something you can politely ignore when the IT guy brings it up at your weekly meetings. In order to run a streamlined, competitive business in today’s climate, organizations are required to optimize their digital strategies to keep the attention of their customers and stay relevant. Whether it’s improving your network fabric for faster internet or using the Cloud or a data centre to store important customer data, trust us when we say that this is a non-negotiable.
