B2B travel companies overtook B2C investments this year for the first time accounting for 51% of total funding as of Q3 2024. Funding and investment is on all business owners' minds. And for good reason - funding allows businesses to grow, expand, and eventually sell. Last year we saw several large brands receive significant investments, but how did they do it? Phocuswright published a useful round up of the state of B2B travel related investment in 2024, read and learn! (Link in comments). What are travel investors looking for in your opinion?

Autonomous vehicles, AI guides, personalisation for the tourism experience...and the end of the trusty tour bus as we know it? We had the opportunity to sit down with Alex Bainbridge from Autoura to dive deeper into how driverless vehicles will be redesigning the tourism products of the future. Here’s what we spoke about: 👉 In which cities are autonomous vehicles already making an impact? 👉 How can the sector harness this technology, particularly for tours & experiences? 👉 Will autonomous vehicles reshape consumer expectations? 👉 What is still required for adoption in tourism and hospitality? This is just the beginning of an exciting journey: driverless vehicles have real potential to reframe the tourism experience. What are your thoughts on autonomous vehicles in travel? Share below!
