These 1: Personalised Trips Becoming the Standard - Guests Expect Tailored Experiences

The era of general offerings is over. Instead of addressing large groups like "families" or "hikers", the individual guest is taking centre stage. Modern systems analyse various data to understand the wishes of each guest. The goal: A suitable travel experience that starts before arrival and continues after departure.

Data-driven Personalisation

AI connects data from various sources: search behaviour, previous bookings, social media and website visits. This creates a comprehensive picture of the customer. Each contact becomes part of a coherent journey: from relevant advertising ("We know you love adventures") to customised emails and up-to-date offers during the stay, such as spa offers on rainy days.

Measurable business results

Personalisation not only brings in more revenue, but also creates brand loyalty through emotional connection. When communication becomes personal, the guest feels understood. This builds trust and loyalty - which explains the good business figures. Those who invest in personalisation are investing in long-term customer relationships.

Strategic Challenges for the Bernese Oberland

The Bernese Oberland faces an important challenge: A guest's journey involves many independent providers - from the tourism website to booking pages for hotels, mountain railways and restaurants. If each provider only uses their own data, an incomplete picture of the guest is created. For example, a hotel does not know which hiking trails the guest has looked at on the destination website. Even large companies like Amadeus and Adobe are working hard to get a complete customer picture.

For a better, more personal guest experience, data - securely and in compliance with data protection regulations - needs to be shared between different companies.

This task is too big for individual businesses. It requires a joint data strategy led by the regional tourism organisation.

5 Concrete Examples
1
Targeted Advertising

Online searchers for "family-friendly hikes" receive tailored social media ads for hotels with playgrounds and access to themed trails.

2
Dynamic Email Campaigns

Personalised emails based on previous activities: Wellness guests receive spa updates, mountain bikers information on new trails.

3
Adaptive Websites

Customised homepages depending on origin and season: Dutch visitors see ski slopes in winter, lakes in summer.

4
Context-based Recommendations

Hotel app sends weather-dependent suggestions: "Ideal hiking weather tomorrow. Recommendation based on your last tour: Bachalpsee. Packed lunch desired?"

5
Proactive Loyalty Programmes

AI recognises regular guests and suggests hotel managers offer a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival.

5 Recommendations for Action for the Region
Sharing data in the region

Create a secure data room that complies with data protection regulations, so that hotels, mountain railways and tourist offices can exchange data.

Searching for technology partners

Examine which systems are suitable for personalised offers and negotiate common contracts for the region.

Building knowledge among providers

Hoteliers and tourism professionals learn how to work with data and create personalised offers.

Personalising content

Create different content for different guest groups and travel situations.

Starting first projects

Implement showcase projects with partners that demonstrate how personalised offers can work in the region.
