BCD Travel's latest travel buyer report highlights the importance of leveraging travel data to meet program priorities
UTRECHT, The Netherlands – BCD Travel surveyed 197 travel buyers from around the world in top industries including manufacturing, life sciences and financial services. The majority of travel buyers surveyed work for large companies with over 10,000 employees; 48% have global responsibilities, and 41% report to procurement. The results clearly reflect the importance of using data as a tool to develop their travel programs, including boosting supplier negotiations, improving policy compliance and optimizing travel spend. Priorities When it comes to programpriorities, travel buyers list savings and cost control (94%) as extremely or very important. Policy compliance (90%) and duty of care (86%) followed. Data analytics and business intelligence were also highly rated: 82% consider this extremely or very important. The top two data-related priorities include enhancing collaboration with TMCs and travel suppliers around data collection and analysis (48%) and improving data quality (47%). This is followed by consolidating data from different sources (44%), enhancing data analysis (42%), acting on insights (36%) and streamlining data collection (33%). The value of data Indeed, data adds value to travel programs, albeit in different ways. Travel data brings particular value when it comes to negotiating with vendors (65%), improving compliance (59%) and optimizing spend (57%). Challenges Collecting data for data's sake isn't the goal. Rather, understanding the story that data reveals, and turning it into actionable insights, is. Half of the participants struggle with using data proactively versus reactively. This is a significant opportunity for improvement since data can reveal areas for cost savings, traveler behavior trends, and out of policy bookings. BCD captures valuable data from the moment a traveler engages with the TMC. Its configurable technology platform collects, standardizes, normalizes, enriches and shares that data with customers – giving them complete control over their data in real time. APIs allow clients more customization to power their own solutions for traveler security, internet security, sustainability, and more. BCD also uses program travel data with messaging capabilities to influence traveler decisions. This can be used to address policy compliance throughout the trip and remind travelers of key benefits and inclusions, preventing unnecessary purchases like car insurance when it's already included. Further highlights of the report include: Most travel buyers regularly dedicate time to working with travel data. Whereas 74% of respondents have the skills and experience needed to interact with data, 56% prefer to leave working with data to professionals. Although 60% regularly check their dashboards and analyze new data, 40% interact with travel data only when absolutely needed. Lack of time (44%) was the main reason for infrequent interaction with data. TMCs are a major source of travel data for most travel buyers (89%). Respondents report payment and expense solutions (69%) and online booking tools (66%) as their top external data sources. Two in 10 use external data aggregators or consultants. Only one out of 10 use AI to collect, analyze and report travel data. The main reason for employing AI is to save time. Travel buyers consider real-time analytics that allows spotting trends (64%) as the most valuable feature of data analytic tools, followed by built-in dashboards (57%). 'BCD Travel is capturing more data from more sources than ever before,' says Heather Wright, BCD's vice president, Digital Strategy & Advancement. 'We invest heavily in the consolidation, standardization and normalization of this data, ensuring the most accurate, quality data is provided back to our customers. We deliver this data through a variety of unique solutions that allow our customers to make decisions in real time.' By leveraging advanced analytics and new technologies, BCD offers clients accurate, actionable insights that support their evolving needs. Clients benefit from BCD's data solutions and access to its full-service analytics and insights teams. This empowers smarter decision-making across travel programs.

Is last-minute discounting good or bad for hoteliers?
A recent polling 'Would you drop your price or run a last minute OTA promo?' and related discussion on LinkedIn prompted my comments on this age-old dilemma in hospitality. The question is: Is it a good revenue management practice to offer last-minute discounts in your publicly available distribution channels like hotel website, OTAs, GDS, social media, digital marketing, etc.? Last-minute discounting in hospitality are not a new phenomenon. There have been many attempts to find a way to dispose of these empty rooms at any cost. Theoretically it makes economic sense: it is 4PM, I have 20 empty rooms, and if I sell them at 50% off BAR, I will still be making some money from my otherwise perishable inventory, right? Wrong! Last-minute discounting in hospitality is not sustainable as this approach jeopardizes existing and already researched-and planned bookings from all other distribution channels (hotel website and mobile app, voice, OTAs, GDS, corporate transients and groups, SMERFs, wholesalers, etc.). Typical leisure and unmanaged business travelers engage with multitude of different digital touch points (Google Research claimed 48 such touch points) and are shopping around like crazy pre-, during and post the Booking Phase of the digital customer journey. How would they react when they find out that the $200 room they booked a week ago could now be booked for $125 on the property website or an OTA? In my view, last-minute discounting is a super lazy and rookie approach to revenue management and a sure downward spiral to hotel insolvency. One question: why airlines and car rental companies never engage in last-minute discounting? Because they are smart and understand that whoever books the last minute has either urgent need or urge to travel and is willing to pay more to satisfy this need or urge. As a matter of principle, all major hotel chains avoid last-minute discounting since it is against best revenue management practices, contractual obligations with third-party distributors, preferred corporate accounts, group rate contracts, etc. Hospitality should finally learn something from the airlines who invented revenue management more than half a century ago (they call it yield management): the closer to the departure date, the higher the airfares! What Should Hoteliers Do to Avoid Last Minute Discounting? To begin with, if hoteliers are doing everything right in the direct online channel, the hotel would not need to use last-minute discounters. Instead of relying on last-minute discounters, hoteliers should invest in the direct online channel and make it a mission to decrease dependency on OTAs and intermediaries. The only time to engage in any kind of discounting is for a) advance bookings, b) CRM marketing promotions, and c) selling on value and not on rate alone. Advance Bookings : reward your guests for booking early and allowing you to have peace of mind with solid business on the books. Offer 10%-15% discounts for non-refundable 14- or 21-day advance bookings, based on your property's booking window. : reward your guests for booking early and allowing you to have peace of mind with solid business on the books. Offer 10%-15% discounts for non-refundable 14- or 21-day advance bookings, based on your property's booking window. CRM Marketing Promotions : With a solid CRM database and CRM technology fully integrated with your PMS, you can do a targeted CRM promotion for a need period, targeting people living within driving distance or reasonable travel time from the property who do not have an existing reservation for the need dates. For example, you can send a promotion on Monday-Tuesday for the upcoming weekend that is 3-4 days ahead. CRM promotions allow one-to-one marketing, without exposing your discounted rates to the public and to customers who have already booked or are planning to book your property. : With a solid CRM database and CRM technology fully integrated with your PMS, you can do a targeted CRM promotion for a need period, targeting people living within driving distance or reasonable travel time from the property who do not have an existing reservation for the need dates.

CRM promotions allow one-to-one marketing, without exposing your discounted rates to the public and to customers who have already booked or are planning to book your property. Selling on Value: The hospitality industry needs to relearn how to sell on value vs price alone! The OTAs are the masters of selling on price, hoteliers have no chance outwitting or outspending them in their marketing efforts. But selling on value? This is where hoteliers can truly outwit the OTAs and provide real value to your customers. In place of 'naked' rate discounts and last-minute deals, come up with weekend specials, de-stressing and spa packages, family packages, museum packages, romantic getaways, girls getaways, activity packages, special occasion and F&B packages and promotions, work-from-hotel packages, limited time offers, advance purchase promotions, packages with complimentary amenities and upgrades, loyalty member promotions, etc. that you can use to target your local, short-haul and drive-in feeder markets? In conclusion Revenue management 101: the closer to the arrival date, the higher the rate. Whoever books the last minute has either urgent need or urge to travel and is willing to pay more to satisfy this need or urge.

German Summer 2025 Travel Boom: Record Bookings Eclipse Climate Concerns
The German travel market is in great shape for the 2025 summer season, with demand for holiday travel bigger than ever. However, under the impact of a weak economy and rising prices, the consequences of climate change are increasingly being ignored. ITB Berlin, the World's Leading Travel Trade Show, puts the latest developments into perspective and focuses on the latest challenges and opportunities in the travel market. Trade wars, tariffs, sluggish growth: uncertainty and stagnation are the dominant themes of the 2025 global economy. By contrast, German consumer confidence is proving to be surprisingly robust, at least where travel and relaxation are concerned. Despite the difficult economic climate in Germany, summer holidays remain a priority for its citizens. According to estimates by the German Travel Association (DRV), Germans plan to spend around 85 billion euros on pre-holiday travel services in 2025 – a significant six per cent increase over the previous year. The organised travel market with package and tailormade tours is growing particularly strongly. The industry expects that over the course of the year spending on tour company products will reach 40 billion euros, about seven per cent more than last year. Thus, organised tours are almost on a par with custom holiday services. An important growth driver in the German travel market is the demand for cruises. In 2024 it reached a new record, with 3.8 million people taking river and ocean cruise trips, a figure which this year is expected to rise again. Targets, prices and new dynamics When it comes to the holiday destinations that Germans are choosing for summer 2025 there are few surprises. Popular warm-weather destinations on the Mediterranean are experiencing high demand again, and early booking numbers are continuing to rise. Families in particular are ensuring that Turkey with its wide-ranging all-inclusive tours is doing even better business again. It remains this year's top-selling package holiday destination, followed by Spain, with Greece in third place. 'Travelling tops consumers' wish lists again this year – despite all the economic and geopolitical challenges. It seems travelling and holidays are the last thing Germans can do without', says DRV president Norbert Fiebig. The optimism within the German travel market is at odds with international trends, which compared with last year have deteriorated in many areas of the tourism value chain. 'The significant rise globally in flight and accommodation costs as well as a weak economy in many countries are increasingly impacting the market', says Zoritsa Urosevic, Executive Director of UN Tourism. Nonetheless, the German market's high booking volumes cannot hide the fact that the consequences of inflation are also being felt among a nation previously described as the 'world's travel champions'. Despite around a quarter of Germans planning to spend more money on their holidays this year, they are becoming increasingly sensitive to the cost when choosing their destinations. Countries traditionally offering cheaper holidays such as Bulgaria and Tunisia are gaining in popularity. Egypt, where price increases have so far been moderate, is also witnessing higher demand. Less established and comparatively inexpensive destinations in the Balkans such as Montenegro and Albania are also reporting slight increases in bookings. According to a survey by the ADAC Travel Monitor, for one in three Germans saving money has become a necessity for planning their summer holiday. At the same time, the proportion of consumers keen on taking a holiday but barely able to finance it is growing. In 2025 around 32 per cent of Germans will not be going on a major holiday trip. In 2022 this figure was only 17 per cent. 'Price rises are damping consumer confidence and putting a strain on the disposable income of private households. Nevertheless, we see the travel industry's figures pointing upwards. Should the negative economic trends continue however, this will also impact travel behaviour', cautions DRV president Fiebig. Sustainability versus reality In a situation where prices are increasingly determining consumers' holiday choices, quality aspects are becoming less important. Sustainability criteria, such as considering a trip's carbon footprint or the transport options at one's destination, continue to be a low booking priority. According to the ADAC Travel Monitor, only around 20 per cent of people are willing to pay a premium for extra sustainability options such as local products. At the same time and more than ever, people want a perfect local environment. 18 per cent of all respondents said they take the risk of possible natural disasters such as forest fires, floods or other weather extremes into account when planning their holidays. In 2022 this figure was only 14 per cent. Such concerns are likely to grow in future under the impact of climate change. 'In addition to current geopolitical tensions, it is the increase in weather extremes that is above all significantly impacting the development of global tourism', says Executive Director of UN Tourism Urosevic. Click here for the video interview with Executive Director of UN Tourism Zoritsa Urosevic on the Risks and Opportunities in the International Travel Market. However, climate-related flooding events such as in the Valencia region, or unusual heatwaves in parts of the Mediterranean in the summer of last year have so far only had a marginal impact on booking behaviour. There is little evidence of travellers avoiding the Mediterranean due to the growing risk of extreme weather and switching to northern Europe for example, although this is probably also due to the considerable difference in prices at Scandinavian and southern European holiday destinations. The industry has a responsibility Current booking behaviour confirms a trend that is likely to increase in the face of economic crises and stagnating purchasing power. A growing number of holidaymakers are torn between their conscience and reality. Despite many being increasingly aware of the need for sustainable action, this is barely reflected in real terms. For travellers, what is much more important than climate action is how attractive a destination is as well as the cost – a phenomenon that has been scientifically termed the 'attitude behaviour gap'. Against this backdrop, it is unlikely that pricing alone can persuade holidaymakers to choose more sustainable travel behaviour. Heinz-Dieter Quack, Professor of Tourism Management at Ostfalia Hochschule, is among the scientists who believe the responsibility for solving this problem lies with tourism industry. 'Sustainability is not driven by demand. Instead of holidaymakers, it is tour operators who must lead the way', says Quack. According to him, it is not just about creating sustainable concepts and incorporating them into tourism products, but also about making them visible as part of a corporate marketing strategy. In his view, tour operators must also address problems such as overtourism. Here, digital solutions for regulating tourist flows and in extreme cases banning undesirable tourist activities could help to protect the environment and the quality of people's stays at destinations.
