What to do next?
1
Automate your manual tasks with AI-powered Software as a Service
You don’t need in-house AI tools to do this, most software providers will be doing the heavy lifting for you
2
Step up your SEO and AI Optimisation (AIO) strategy
Make sure your experiences are easily discoverable in consumer-generated itineraries. If you’ve invested in search engine optimisation (SEO) in the past, a lot of that work will be paying off now, but if not, it’s never too late to tag your images, set meta descriptions and make sure your most important content is machine readable.
3
Experiment cautiously with customer facing AI tools
If you’re not yet using any AI in your business, now is not the time to rip out your search function on your website and replace it with an AI chat bot! As an end consumer you probably know how frustrating it can be to deal with a poorly trained bot. Instead, find a problem you have which is worth solving but not business critical to start learning in a low-risk environment.
Travel by B Corp are a collective of travel companies that are certified B Corps (a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact), Felloh is a member and Will (our CEO) is on the board.
Earlier this year (2023) Travel by B Corp commissioned some research by behavioural scientist Milena S. Nikolova, PhD to explore the effectiveness of supply-driven sustainability design in travel by comparing the intention-action gap between three different groups embarking on the same leisure experience.
The results are fascinating.
TLDR:
Incorporating sustainability in the design rather than relying on the right traveller choices improves the footprint of leisure experiences
Making sustainability the only, the default or the easiest option can lead to optimised sustainability performance without influencing market performance
Making it easy and appealing for travellers to be responsible closes the intention-action gap and can increase satisfaction (experiential value)
