This Tactic helps you promote additional travel-related services enhancing the primary booking experience. Ancillary upsells include options such as car rentals, travel insurance, airport transfers, guided tours and in-flight services. Offering these extras during the booking process as follow-up suggestions helps travelers enhance their trips while providing additional revenue streams for the business.
To effectively leverage the Travel & Hospitality Tactics, you need to implement your own data integration tailored to your unique data formats. This process involves mapping and synchronizing your data with the SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement platform. To achieve optimal results, we recommend using Relational Data.
