What It Is

Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)

1. Traveler spends 3-8 hours researching destination: reading blogs, TripAdvisor, guidebooks. 2. Traveler manually creates day-by-day plan in Google Docs or spreadsheet. 3. Traveler must calculate travel times, opening hours, optimal routing between activities. 4. No personalization - everyone follows same 'top 10 things to do' lists. 5. Itinerary becomes outdated (venue closures, seasonal changes).

Characteristics

  • GDS (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport)
  • CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot)
  • PMS (Opera, RoomRaccoon)
  • ERP (SAP, Oracle)
  • Itinerary Software (Sembark, Ezus, Travelport Itinerary)
  • Email & SMS Platforms
  • Excel/Google Sheets
  • Web Portals & Mobile Apps

Pain Points

  • Manual Data Entry: Reliance on Excel or Word leads to errors and delays.
  • Integration Challenges: Siloed systems require manual reconciliation.
  • Lack of Real-Time Updates: Traditional systems may not reflect last-minute changes instantly.
  • Limited Personalization: Generic itineraries without deep customer insights.
  • Time-Consuming Modifications: Last-minute changes require manual rework.
  • Scalability Issues: Manual processes don't scale well for high-volume agencies.
  • Data Privacy & Security: Handling sensitive customer data increases compliance risks.
  • Dependence on multiple systems can lead to data silos.
  • Manual processes increase the risk of human error and inefficiency.
