It’s no secret that the global COVID-19 pandemic hit the travel and hospitality industry hard. But as lockdown restrictions ease, what lies ahead for the travel industry—and are consumers ready to travel again? The signs of a rebound are promising: Data shows that accommodations, online travel agencies (OTAs), and temporary rental booking platforms in every region saw a month-over-month boost in user sessions from February 2021 to March 2021.

To help brands navigate the road to recovery, Braze worked with Wakefield Research and turned to data partners Skyscanner and Apptopia to better understand what customers need and identify the opportunities where travel brands can stand out from the competition. We found that new preferences and deal breakers are changing the way people book travel—from the messages consumers expect to receive to a new emphasis on health and safety that’s even more of a priority than price.

More than ever, it’s crucial that travel companies rethink their customer engagement strategies to bounce back in 2021.
