With many consumers first browsing social media on mobile devices for travel inspiration, continued optimisation of the customer journey for mobile users has meant that the majority of travel packages are now sold via a mobile site or app.
This has been accredited to reducing the number of steps required to make a purchase, speedy checkouts with PayPal and carefully-curated deals for customers browsing the mobile site or app instead of exhaustive lists of destinations, hotels and resorts, which can often be difficult to read on mobile devices.
Small platform adjustments can ensure travel agents capitalise on the growing trend of impulsive, mobile shopping for travel products.
