What changes when it is travel & tourism

Deliverability comes before creative. Beautiful campaigns landing in spam are an expensive way to damage your sending reputation, so authentication and list hygiene are the first job.

In travel & tourism, travellers need answers instantly, in their language, at any hour. That single fact reshapes how email & lifecycle marketing has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is review and feedback analysis, usually integrated against payment gateways. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

Can it handle booking changes?

Yes, with integration into your booking systems and clear approval limits on anything with a financial consequence.

What about disruptions?

Proactive notification and rebooking options are the highest-value automation in travel. It is precisely when volume spikes and human capacity does not.

Email or WhatsApp in India?

Both, for different jobs. WhatsApp has far higher open rates and stricter rules and costs; email carries longer content and costs almost nothing. Transactional and urgent goes to WhatsApp, considered content to email.

Our emails land in spam. Fixable?

Usually. It is typically authentication records, list quality, or sending patterns rather than content. The audit identifies which, and reputation recovers with disciplined sending.

How often should we send?

Frequency matters less than relevance. Segmented sending to people who want it can be weekly; blasting everyone monthly still generates complaints.
