SINGAPORE, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As technology paves the way for the future of travel, Trip.com Group demonstrated its global leadership in innovation at ITB Asia 2024, hosted at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
With a special focus on AI-powered personalisation, data-driven insights, and new tools for travellers, the company showcased how it is shaping travel experiences globally through technological solutions.
Harnessing AI to Drive Travel's Digital Transformation
On the opening day of the conference, Han Feng, Head of Marketing at Trip.com Group, delivered a keynote titled Embracing the Digital Era: How Technology is Transforming the Future of Travel. She emphasised how AI is beneficial in enhancing quality, increasing operational efficiency, and reaching diverse global audiences.
Ms Feng highlighted how AI-powered digital ads and real-time insights have driven a 25% increase in impressions and a 42% improvement in return on investment (ROI) across global markets.
She also underscored the role of Trip.com's AI travel assistant, TripGenie - which has doubled the order conversion rate and improved user engagement, with travellers spending an average of over 20 minutes more on the app when interacting with this tool. This powerful combination of AI-driven solutions has reshaped the way travellers discover and book their trips.
Ms Feng said, "Our AI innovations are not only transforming the traveller experience but also driving operational efficiency at scale. AI-powered digital ads have resulted in a 30% increase in global ads performance, while AI-driven content and search functionalities provide personalised travel recommendations, catering to the evolving needs of modern travellers."
