More than three in four activities booked in-destination happened on the day of or day before the activity. The reasons that activities are booked last minute can vary by activity type, but the top reason across activity types is simply because the traveler is not a planner.

A highly interesting study by Skift examines the mobile usage customer journey in detail. It provides great insights about how many travelers use mobile at each stage of their journey, how specifically they use it etc. The report is a great tool for travel brands to gain a better understanding of where they can fit into the in-destination journey in order to most meaningfully connect with travelers.

WiT identified inDest as one of 12 selected travel startups in their travel tech startup competition. The condition to be able to compete is to “solve a variety of problems from addressing consumer anxiety about safety and sustainability to fixing new and pressing pain points faced by the industry”. We are thrilled and very honored to be chosen as one of the semi-finalists.

Since inDest was launched in May we have already signed up 10 great clients! Interest has been primarily from travel agency chains and OTAs, but also hotel chains and airlines. The plan is to go live with the first client shortly. Stay tuned for more info when this has happened!
