Research Captures the Impact of COVID-19 on Travel Distribution Partners and Their Outlook on the Future
NEW YORK (June 25, 2020) – During the weeks from May 11–25, 2020, over 900 travel executives (tour operators and agency owners) from the top tourism source markets participated in a global survey by Travel Consul, the leading international travel marketing alliance.
- How destinations can support distribution partners in recovery. When asked how destination organizations (DMOs) can best help travel advisors and tour operators in recovery, the number one answer was clearly “introducing health and safety certificates for advisors to feel sure the destinations are safe to send their customers.”
- Clients are still waiting to decide where to travel next. Over 40% of clients who are rebooking or showing some interest in traveling said that they were planning to go to the destination where they had originally booked. Although the largest percentage (46%) are at a halt, waiting to see how the situation evolves before making their decision. Amongst U.S. respondents, 51% said their clients were looking to the destination they originally booked, while 38% said their clients were waiting to decide.
- Business implications of COVID-19 Overall, distribution partners expect a 73% decrease in business volume in Q3 2020 and a 60% decrease in Q4 2020. Two-thirds of respondents anticipate being able to sustain their businesses for six months without government financial support. U.S. respondents feel less financially secure than the global average. One in 3 (33%) said they could only sustain their business without government assistance for one to three months, and 28% said four to six months.
