Problem Statement

With a recently found surge in the travel Industry, the number of incoming travel bookings has been constantly increasing, and with this hike, the client was facing several issues with keeping up with trends, data bulk in their systems, and whatnot!
Among these, the two primary challenges they faced were:

    • Limited data utilization:

      The client had huge amounts of valuable customer data(unstructured) but lacked the resources and expertise to effectively collect, store, monitor, and derive timely insights from it.

    • High cancellation rate:

      With high competition and a rapid surge in the tourism industry, customer bookings were frequent. However, so were cancellations, which negatively impacted their ROI and operational efficiency.
