How To Develop A Business-Friendly Travel Website It has been observed that people often visit online travel sites to get information while planning a trip to a particular location. However, given the presence of a large number of travel websites, people tend to visit only a few ones. This is where the real challenge lies before website designers to not only attract the attention of users but to keep them engaged as well. By creating a travel website(s) that is aesthetically pleasing, rich in content, and easy to navigate, you can stand apart and make the first big impression. Why travel websites should have the WoW factor? Travellers struck with wanderlust normally visit websites to get information about places. If such sites have stunning imagery of places that capture the imagination of users you can safely win half the battle of perception. However, if the travel website does not support proper navigation or should users find it difficult to carry out activities like booking, users can simply shun it for its competitor. The following reasons explain the importance of having a good travel website design. •

Your website is an online destination for users to get information about the travel agency or the places to visit. So, it should engage them in the first place

If users like the website there is every likelihood of them staying there and recommending the same to others

It is the online address that you or other stakeholders will guide people to visit

The website would help customers form an opinion of the travel agency even before they decide to engage its services

Let’s discuss the factors that influence a good travel website design.


Stunning visuals that load easily: The very sight of beautiful architecture, pretty natural landscape or the people of a place can influence a would be traveller. However, designers should not make such websites graphics-heavy for the same can lead to latency and user fatigue. Mobile responsive: Given that most online users use smartphones or tablets to browse, your website should fit into the small screen of such devices. By ensuring this you can reach out to a large number of customers. Seamless navigation: Users should find your travel website easy to navigate with clearly defined call to action buttons. Offers total travel package: Put yourself in the shoes of a customer and ask if you would like to have an integrated package that includes transportation, lodging, and fooding, or would want them in a piecemeal fashion. Thus, it makes sense to integrate a total travel package on the website. SEO friendly: To remain ahead of your competitors, the website should be SEO friendly. In other words, users should be able to find your website easily on a search engine. Secured payment gateways: After getting information about a place, customers would generally do the booking online. This is where having a secured payment gateway would help retain customers. Feedback and reviews: Your website should have a feedback section where customers can give feedback or write reviews about the services. This would give you an idea of the pain areas for customers, which you can act upon.
