Did you know that international travelers are expected to double by 2020 to almost 1.6 billion? The growth of the travel industry in the new markets of China, India, South-East Asia, MENA and Eastern Europe is staggering.

Right now, KSA and UAE make up 50% of the MENA travel market.
Quicker air travels have made remote areas more accessible. More paid holidays let people have frequent smaller vacations than a single big one. An increase in the amount of disposable income and awareness of the attractions-thanks to the internet-means that people are aware of the travel experience out there and can afford it. Cheaper online bookings and advertising by travel agencies of low-cost travel packages attract the customers to travel more frequently.
The extensive use of the internet has changed the travel industry’s fundamental structure. Travelers of MENA region book half their trips online. If you’re looking to plunge into this industry with your own travel agency and market yourself, there are 5 powerful strategies and hacks you can adopt to make your venture very successful.

It would be fantastic to have a customer come online, do a search on travel, see your paid search ad and convert immediately. But today’s customer journey is more complex than that. And you need to be a part of it in each step. According to Google, there are four moments where you should strive to win your travelers over.
Dreaming
When potential travelers are thinking about traveling and do searches to find inspiration and ideas like where to go and what to do. Your website must have helpful content already in place.
Organizing
When they are in deep consideration mode and are searching about airlines and hotels based on timing, location and cost. Your paid ads, reviews and website must address this segment of the target market.
Booking
When they have made their decision and are ready to make their reservations. You must have packages to suit their needs.
Experiencing
When people are searching about what to do or where to visit nearby during their trip. Giving a holistic support and experience to customers in all moments of the customer journey is important to make a lasting impression.
One way to harvest an existing demand is to go for search ads. But if you are proactive and want to “create” a new demand then social media Ads are what you must focus on. Your agency and brand can promote inspirational and memorable content that is designed with your own target audience in mind. People will see that social media ad and it will stay in their recall memory. Social media is a great way to generate brand affinity.
Continuously generating useful and helpful content for travelers is a sure way to stay on top of their minds. You can also create online communities and a large following that you can interact with directly across all social media channels.
