The pandemic is estimated to have brought digital transformation forward by as much as five years. This acceleration has impacted how travel is being sold online and, consequently, the technology available to online travel entrepreneurs.   When you're looking for technology to launch or upgrade your travel website, there are several things you need to ask yourself to ensure you not only get value for money but a website that does everything you need.

Will it save me time?

  When you begin looking around at travel tech, one of your first considerations should be how long will it take you to get up and running.   If you go down the legacy travel tech route, it can be excessively complex and time-consuming. Installing, testing, and ironing out bugs in the system all add to the time it takes to launch your site.   The inherent complexity that gives you features that you don't need or use also adds to the training time for your staff and slows down new starters when they join your team.   If you decide against a legacy system and hire a team of developers to give you precisely what you need, expect to spend months, if not longer, launching your online travel business. If you want to save time and be able to launch your business in a matter of a couple of weeks, you need to look at no-code travel technology. It's quick to set up, easy to customise and gives you all the tools you need to effectively run your travel business and increase bookings and profits.

Will it save me money?


After two years of little activity in the travel sector and consequently limited income, the cost of upgrading your tech or starting an online travel business is an important consideration.
  Let's look at the options. Legacy technology can have an extended lead time and is generally extremely expensive because it comes with every bell and whistle available, regardless of whether you need them. This level of complexity   Similarly, if you opt to develop your own travel tech solution, you'll be spending many thousands of pounds on IT developers to get your website up and running. Oh, and don't forget you'll also need a team of developers on hand to solve issues as they arise and make any changes you require.   However, if you want a website that is not only cost-effective but gives you the ability to sell everything from packages to flight only and hotel rooms to car hire, it might be time to consider a no-code website. Costs can be as little as £99/month, and you decide what you need to make your website work for your business.

Will it help us sell more and grow?

  The digital landscape is busy, with thousands of new websites appearing every day. One way to stand out from the noise is to offer an exceptional customer experience enhanced by your technology.   Your technology has to be designed to make your customers' lives easier, whether they want to research a possible destination, book a flight, or arrange an all-inclusive package holiday. As many travellers want to carry out their research and holiday booking on the go, an easy to use, mobile responsive site is a must, along with a simple, straightforward path to making a booking.   A no-code website is designed with your customers in mind, letting you connect with millions of travel suppliers worldwide to give a seamless booking experience that lets you win new customers and keep them.   Interested?
