Trip.com Group Revolutionizes Attractions & Tours Sector

The attractions and tours sector is undergoing a transformation, as highlighted in the recent Trip.com Group Envision 2024 Global Conference held in Shanghai. The conference shed light on the changing preferences of travelers, with a particular focus on the surge in international travel and the evolving demands of the younger generation.

One of the key revelations from the conference was the 34% increase in international arrivals in 2023, indicating a growing interest in exploring destinations beyond borders. The younger demographic in China is driving this trend, showing a preference for unique and authentic experiences over conventional tourist spots.

Travelers today are seeking personalized and local experiences, ranging from visits to theme parks and Instagrammable locations to engaging in activities aligned with their interests. To meet these evolving preferences, Trip.com Attractions & Tours has expanded its offerings to include VIP experiences, bundled food and ticket packages, and exclusive event tickets.

Technology, especially AI, is playing a pivotal role in reshaping the travel industry. Tools like TripGenie are revolutionizing travel planning and enhancing customer service interactions. The integration of AI extends to dynamic pricing management, predictive analytics, and the adoption of immersive technologies like AR and VR, signaling a shift towards automation and enhanced customer experiences.

Strategic partnerships with attractions and travel agencies are deemed essential for delivering value to customers. Trip.com Attractions & Tours has forged collaborations with renowned destinations such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Empire State Building Observatory to offer exclusive experiences. New partnerships with entities like Discover Saudi aim to enrich tourism offerings and services.

Improvements in pre-travel services, such as expanded eSIM coverage in over 160 countries and enhanced airport counters at key locations, are enhancing the overall travel experience for customers. With a global presence in multiple languages and currencies, Trip.com offers an extensive network of hotels and flights worldwide, supported by round-the-clock multilingual customer service.
