Globalisation and the future of travel

Addressing the common challenges faced by the travel, tourism and hospitality sector

Despite poor growth for tour operators TUI and Thomas Cook in 2018, the global travel, tourism and hospitality sector is booming! Since Airbnb came along and disrupted the industry, more traditional hoteliers and those who had dominated the market for so long suddenly realised that they had to change.

This is one industry that has adopted innovative technology and a personalised customer experience quicker than any other, but with this comes challenges, particularly when it comes to localising content in other languages.

Our experience working with key players in the travel industry led us to produce an eBook to help marketing, content and localisation teams tackle common localisation pain points to strengthen their organisation’s overall globalisation strategy.
