The research, Journey of Me Insights: What Asia Pacific travelers want, was conducted in May 2017 in collaboration with YouGov. A total of 6,870 respondents from 14 markets in Asia Pacific that have traveled by plane in the last 12 months were sampled. The 14 markets include:

Amadeus believes that no two travelers are the same, and even more so, no two journeys will be the same. At the core of traveling is the creation of experiences that are innately ours.

There are an infinite number of elements that make up the travelers’ DNA. Varying factors may influence my travel experience but what defines the “Journey of Me” are my behaviours, feelings, attitudes, and coping mechanisms.

As travelers today become more savvy and better informed, travel and its elements of surprise, magic and wonder have become increasingly challenging to achieve.

Technology brings promise. Now, we have the opportunity to bring the magic back into travel. But only if we first understand what the traveler wants.

In today’s world of travel, every engagement point matters. Expectations have surpassed personalization. Beyond relevance, travel providers must be timely and intuitive to shape each individual experience.

In this journey of ME, cultivating relationships and embracing travelers’ individuality should be the priority.

INTRODUCING THE JOURNEY OF ME

The most dominant observation from the study is that there is no consistent profile

for the Asia Pacific traveler. Stark contrasts in behaviors, needs and

preferences were observed across all geographic and demographic lines. For

example, while 62% of Indonesian travelers do most of their trip booking on

mobile, only 11% of New Zealand travelers do so. Separately, while 84% of

Singaporean travelers think it’s important to find service staff at the destination

that speak a language they understand, 96% of Indonesian travelers don’t think

it’s important.

In the world of travel, every engagement point matters. Beyond personalization,

connecting with travelers in a timely and intuitive manner is equally important. While the vast majority of Indonesian

travelers would be interested in receiving travel recommendations from the

moment they consider a trip all the way up to while they are on the trip, travel players must consider carefully how to

connect with them and with what content. 29% of Indonesian travelers

prefer to receive updates and recommendations about their trip

through social media. But only 4% would want to be contacted via phone call.

In the course of this research, “Journey of Me Insights: What Asia Pacific travelers want” uncovered four themes that travel providers need to focus on:

THE FOUR THEMES

Indonesian travelers are the most open in the region to sharing their personal

information for more relevant offers and personalized experiences. 79% would be

open to sharing their data with travel providers, compared to 64% of APAC

travelers who said the same. While this presents opportunities to travel

providers, they must carefully balance personalization against rising privacy

concerns. Above and beyond adhering to data protection standards and legislation, travel players must be able to articulate

‘what’s the value?’ to get travelers to share their data.

Travelers take their lead from other travelers. When planning trips,

Indonesian travelers are most influenced by word of mouth from their friends,

family and colleagues. Compared to other APAC travelers, they are also more likely

to be influenced by what they see on social media. In terms of who they feel

has sent them relevant recommendations, 60% of Indonesian

travelers choose their friends and family – ranking them at the top.

DELIGHT ME and bring the magic back into

travel, every step of the way

CARE FOR ME and keep me safe and

SO WHAT DO INDONESIAN TRAVELERS WANT?

_ Personalization or privacy? Indonesian travelers are the most open in the region to sharing their personal information for more relevant offers and personalized experiences. 79% would be open to sharing their data with travel providers, compared to 64% of APAC travelers who said the same.

_ Big screens vs. small screens: Indonesia is the only market in Asia Pacific where travelers research and book trips through mobile more than through PCs. In fact, Indonesia has the highest mobile usage in the region for researching trips.

_ Recommendations that matter: Indonesians are most interested in recommendations that help them save money (38%), and those that make travel more comfortable (38%).

_ Who knows better: Indonesians feel they are most likely to receive relevant travel-based recommendations from their social network (e.g. friends/ family) (60%), more so than the average APAC traveler (48%). On the other hand, only 34% of Indonesian respondents feel they have received relevant recommendations from online booking websites, which is lower than the regional average (50%). Leisure travelers say they find more relevant recommendations from peer or social network sources, whereas business travelers say hotel websites/apps or travel agencies.

7

_ Opportunities to inspire: 1 in 5 Indonesian travelers (21%) do most of their travel planning while they are at work, but this behavior is more prevalent amongst travelers who travel mostly for business (36%) compared to those who travel mostly for leisure (12%).

_ The influencers: When it comes to trip planning, Indonesian travelers are most influenced by their friends, family or colleagues. Compared to the average APAC traveler, Indonesians are also more likely to be influenced by what they see on social media.

_ New technology: Indonesian travelers are most interested in an augmented reality mobile app that delivers digital overlays containing interactive information about the culture or history of the site where they are at.

_ Reasons to stay connected: The top reasons why Indonesian travelers choose to stay connected when they travel are to access maps and location information (57%) and research things to do at the destination. Interestingly, Indonesians are more likely than the average APAC traveler to stay connected so that they can keep up to date with work or business.

_ How to get connected: Most Indonesian travelers stay connected via Wi-Fi (75%) when they are travelling abroad. In addition, more than half (54%) say they purchase local SIM cards at destination.

_ Apps that add value: Traveloka is the mobile app that Indonesian travelers use the most while traveling. In second place is WhatsApp, and Facebook and Google Maps tie in third place. Only 28% of Indonesians say they do not use any apps while traveling.

8

_ A good time to ‘talk’: Indonesians are generally very open to receiving travel-based recommendations across the travel cycle. Even after the trip has ended, 74% would still be interested in receiving recommendations.

_ “You can reach me via…”: Social media. 29% of Indonesian respondents say they prefer to receive updates or recommendations about their trips through social media, more so than the average APAC traveler (19%). On the other hand, e-mail, which is top choice for the average APAC traveler (35%), is less popular amongst Indonesia travelers (24%).

_ New world, new options: 65% of Indonesian travelers say they seldom or have never used sharing economy apps and services for getting around during a trip, and 78% say they have never used such services for accommodation during a trip. Amongst those who have used these services, the top reasons for doing so are convenience and cost-saving.

_ Speak my language: Across the board, Indonesians do not think it is important to find comforts from home at the destination they are at. Compared to the average APAC traveler, they are far less likely to think it is important to find service staff that speak a language they understand (47% vs 4%), food and beverage from their home country (36% vs 12%), or even newspapers or TV programs in a language they understand (40% vs 12%).

_ Great expectations: Compared to the average APAC traveler, Indonesians are easier to please. Only 8% say that a travel provider has never exceeded their expectations. The travel providers most likely to have exceeded their expectations are booking sites and hotel or other accommodation providers.

9

_ Travel stoppers: Indonesians are generally more risk-tolerant than the average APAC traveler. Compared to their regional counterparts, Indonesian travelers are much less likely to avoid a destination which has had a recent terror attack (62% vs 45%). They are also less likely to avoid a destination with safety or security issues (52% vs 37%). However, almost half (47%) say they would be less likely to travel to a destination with extreme or inclement weather.

_ Safety updates: The top three sources from which Indonesian travelers most prefer to receive safety or security updates from are their friends and family, transport provider, or travel agent. Indonesians are less reliant on their embassy or government for such updates, compared to the average APAC traveler.
