New Trends Report: Search Marketing for Travel Brands

Today we are launching the latest report in our Skift Trends Reports service, Search Marketing for Travel Brands.

Mobile has rewritten the travel search marketing playbook as online travel agents seek a bigger role and Google’s influence stretches further than ever. Among the new consumer behaviors is a penchant for searching images rather than text and more spontaneous bookings via mobile.

In this environment, the framework employed a few years ago in the desktop era no longer applies and new mediums, like wearables, ensure that brands will have to pay close attention to shifting consumer behaviors in order to thrive in this market. For marketers at travel brands, the search market is complex and challenging to navigate.

This report examines how travel brands, OTAs, and metasearch brands are all strategizing to maximize their visibility in search. Drawing on interviews with industry leaders from DoubleTree, Google, and Hotels For Everyone as well as proprietary research, we delve into what’s happening in search and what’s next.
