Creating Personalized, Simple and Delightful Customer Experience for Travel & Hospitality Platforms
Long before a customer begins his travel or visits a hospitable property, their experience with your business has commenced the moment they’ve visited your website/online platform. Therefore, understanding the user behavior at this stage is extremely essential to offer an experience that can both satisfy the user as well as improve conversions.
Travel UX design deep dives to understand various aspects like their travel intention, how much information is needed to make a decision, spotting pain points, identifying what options are users looking for, etc.
UX design involves creating an optimal design solution considering all the above aspects to fulfill the needs of the users, along with identifying what can set the brand apart from the competitors.

In the age of mindfulness, the value of solo and offbeat traveling has gained popularity.

Experiences vs Sightseeing
The times where sightseeing used to be a part of vacations is being replaced by travel experiences. Many consumers today want more from their trips than just visiting an overcrowded tourist site! It is about indulging in various aspects of the destination during travel such as- cuisine, history, culture, wellness, luxury, adventure etc. to gain memorable and unique travel experiences. And hence it has become essential to design packages around these experiences and gain more travelers.
Virtual Experiences

Incorporating this technological innovation in the user experience can accelerate the process of decision making for the users and help them to move ahead from the planning stage to actually committing to a visit. Utilizing these virtual tours/360 videos can help some customers to better understand the facilities available, providing the brand a clear edge over their competitors. Travel UX design can help adopt these hospitality trends and make them easily accessible on various devices.
