Introduction

In our entire life, no one has never traveled to somewhere for relax or relative visit purposes. Travel and tourism industry, hence, is one of the biggest smokeless industry in the world. According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the number of international tourists globally in 2018 surpassed the 1.4 billion mark, an increase of 74 million compared to 2017, reaching a growth rate of nearly 6%. This is the second highest growth in the period from 2010 to the present (only after an impressive growth of about 7% in 2017). These numbers show a huge potential of travel and tourism market and it is also a challenge for companies and providers which engage in this field.

What Is Travel And Tourism Industry

According to the World Tourist Organization, an organization of the United Nations, Tourism covers all activities of travelers, temporary residents, for the purpose of visiting, exploring, experience or entertainment, relaxation; for a continuous period of time but not more than one year, outside the residence. However, travel and tourism exclude travellers whose main purpose is to make money. In general, tourism is activities related to the trips of people outside their regular place of residence to meet the needs of sightseeing, exploring, recreation and relaxation in a certain period of time.

Current Issues Of Travel Websites Out There

Nowadays, there are many platforms can help us to well-prepare for our vacation. However, not all of them can provide necessary information and helpful tips and you may have different experiences from what is illustrated on those websites. Specifically, you cannot avoid the risk of booking a hotel online or wrong information from reviewers. Therefore, carefully learn everything about your destination to ensure the needs of travel on each journey is essential. According to researchers, reading other reviews about attractions can affect to travel decision on whether they will go or not. Some of common problems tourists usually encounter is fake reviews on tourism platforms. The reasons of this is because attraction or hotel’s owners want to attract tourist and earn as much as profit as possible, they rent seeders to write positive fake reviews for their places. Another reason is reviewers want to gain more merit for their account to have a higher ranked account, they can provide fake reviews about attractions where they never been to or even uploading edited photos for their reviews. As a result, the places/hotels with these fake reviews can be positioned on top of search result based on website’s algorithm and customers will be the ones who are suffered the most. This leads to not only waste of money but also waste of time for travellers. Another factor can also affect these website’s users is ads system. In particular, a website wants to survive need to do many things to earn profit, in which advertising on website is the most common way. What’s worse is even hotels with bad service can spend money to be ranked on top of search result and travellers, in order to save time, usually choose the first hotels appeared right after their search to book for their holiday. This is extremely risky for them. Besides, end-users also do not have any other options like real-time chat interface to ask travel experience from other people on current travel rating platforms. To put it differently, they usually have to go to travel forums to ask there, but it is not convenient as well while it usually takes time for the others to reply to your thread. Another noteworthy issue of current travel rating website is pricing. Because hotel owners need to cut their profit for listing fee on website, thus, booking price is considerably increased costing a lot of money for users. This is also a factor need to be concerned for customer when booking online. Last but not least, none of the current travel website can combine booking, rating and chatting in one place. In other words, there is no social-oriented travel website out there at this moment.
