The travel industry is evolving rapidly, and today’s travelers expect instant, seamless experiences. However, travel agencies face major challenges that make it difficult to meet these expectations. From inconsistent communication and high operational costs to complex integrations and inefficiencies in manual processes, the struggle to scale efficiently is real.
With over 100 billion WhatsApp messages exchanged daily (analyzify.com), managing customer interactions is overwhelming. Additionally, CRM implementation failure rates vary, with some studies indicating a median failure rate of 30%, leading to lost opportunities and inefficiencies. The AI in tourism market is projected to grow from USD 2.95 billion in 2024 to USD 13.38 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.7% (marketsandmarkets.com).

- High costs for maintaining 24/7 customer service, limiting scalability.
- Difficulties in integrating booking platforms and CRM systems, resulting in inefficiencies.
