P&C Global Practices: Corporate Performance, Digital Transformation, Strategy & Innovation
AI-Driven Travel Retail: Engagement Overview
The rapid evolution of digital commerce has reshaped consumer expectations in the travel industry. Airlines, hotels, and travel agencies must provide seamless, personalized experiences while optimizing revenue streams. P&C Global collaborated with a global leader in travel technology to implement an AI-driven retailing solution that seamlessly integrates with New Distribution Capability (NDC) standards, unlocking new revenue streams and delivering personalized travel experiences at scale.
Key innovations include:
- AI-driven personalization for tailored offers
- Dynamic bundling to optimize revenue potential
- Omnichannel integration ensuring a seamless customer experience
This solution enhances engagement, optimizes conversion rates, and drives incremental revenue growth, setting a new standard for travel retailing.
The Challenge: Overcoming the Limitations of Traditional Travel Retail
Despite advancements in digital commerce, many travel providers still operated within fragmented booking systems, static pricing models, and siloed customer data. While New Distribution Capability (NDC) introduced a path toward modernization, travel brands struggled to translate it into AI-driven, revenue-generating solutions. Key challenges included:
- Fragmented Digital Experiences – Disconnected booking journeys led to increased customer drop-off and lower conversion rates.
- Limited Personalization – Lack of AI-driven insights restricted the ability to tailor offers, upsell effectively, and drive customer loyalty.
- Missed Revenue Opportunities – Static pricing models and rigid bundling structures hindered the ability to optimize revenue streams.
- Operational Inefficiencies – Without real-time analytics and automation, travel providers faced higher distribution costs and slower innovation cycles.
To fully unlock the potential of AI-powered travel retailing, the industry needed a scalable, omnichannel solution that could personalize offers, optimize pricing, and seamlessly integrate across all customer touchpoints.
The Solution: A Scalable, AI-Powered Travel Retailing Platform
