Travelotopos Webinar

Travel’s theme for 2022? Go big!

On Thursday, March 17th we hosted our first webinar where we shared new features and trends for 2022. We were also joined by two GYG speakers (Konstantinos Papagiannopoulos and Chris Castle) who spoke about the Connectivity program and shared updates and trends.

Trends and insights:

The huge growth in bookings made since the beginning of the year in comparison with 3 previous years. No major effect of the war in bookings was found. Direct bookings show lower growth in comparison with GYG, Viator. Make sure that you have similar bookings conditions in all channels (i.e. cancellation policy). We expect last-minute bookings this year as well. Suggestions: Mobile-friendly website, last-minute availability, and low cut-off time.

New features:

Custom email

Listening to Travel Market’s needs, we proudly launch the Custom Client e-mail feature which will automate the operational routine and accelerate the communication with end clients. Create customized e-mail templates and schedule their sending according to your preferences. All important information prior to starting time and after the completion of the experience is now delivered to clients’ e-mail automatically.

New Front end

Following the trends of the modern digital era, we are launching Travelotopos’ new landing page for the ultimate client experience. The new-look provides a pleasant navigation environment, clear demonstration of supplier’s services, and super client-friendly calendar view.
