Advantage Travel Partnership and WIN Global Travel Network have agreed a partnership with AI technology provider Grapevine to use their Marvin AI engine to target travellers who have booked a flight but not an associated hotel or other in-destination spend.
Advantage says 70 per cent or more of bookings have no attached hotel and TMCs often capture little to no in-destination spend. Marvin will make personalised recommendations to travellers that are in-policy and in the preferred booking channel.
The organisations say the tie-up will “deliver a consumer-grade, total-trip user experience for travellers, enhanced duty of care for TMC customers and increased revenues for TMCs”.
