- Travel Intermediaries are distribution agents who sell and/or broker travel and tourism-related products and services. They function as intermediaries between suppliers and consumers, purchasing and reselling tourism-related products and services such as package holidays, tickets, tours, housing, vehicle rental, and so on. A B2B tour operator, for example, can offer one-day trips to a travel agent, who then sells them to consumers.
- Nowadays, customers are increasingly seeking customized travel experiences that cater to their requirements. Travel intermediaries assist consumers in planning and booking these experiences, which is fueling industry growth. In addition to that, the rising millennial population is also contributing to the growth of the market as millennials are the largest generation, and they are more inclined than prior generations to travel. Millennials are also more inclined to book their vacation plans using online travel agencies.
- Moreover, modern travelers are moving away from conventional sightseeing tours and are now seeking one-of-a-kind experiential travel opportunities. This shift opens up a lucrative market for travel intermediaries to design and deliver tailored travel experiences that cater to specific interests like adventure travel, eco-tourism, culinary tours, cultural immersion, and wellness retreats. By collaborating with local experts and vendors, intermediaries have the chance to provide their customers with authentic and unforgettable experiences, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
- However, the growth of online platforms and digital technology has posed significant challenges to the travel intermediaries market. The emergence of online booking platforms has granted travelers direct access to a wide range of options, enabling them to independently research, plan, and book their trips without relying on traditional travel intermediaries like travel agencies or tour operators. The convenience, transparency, and cost-effectiveness offered by these online platforms have empowered consumers, reducing their dependence on intermediaries. Additionally, the advancement of digital technology has facilitated the creation of innovative travel-related services, including price comparison websites, travel apps, and virtual assistants, further streamlining the booking process. Consequently, the conventional role of travel intermediaries has been disrupted, resulting in a decline in their market share and posing long-term sustainability challenges in the evolving travel industry.
