Challenges and Considerations
The travel industry involves collecting vast amounts of customer personal data. Processed and shared across various platforms. In this context, cybersecurity is critical from the early stages of custom travel software development.
Cyber threats can occur in various areas, including booking engines, mobile apps, digital payment systems, and third-party integrations.
One of the biggest challenges in this sector is ensuring compliance with global data protection regulations, such as the GDPR or PCI DSS, particularly when managing data across international borders. Travel companies must secure personal data, such as passports, payment details, and itineraries, which are highly attractive targets for cybercriminals. Even a minor vulnerability in a booking platform or API can lead to a serious data breach.
The integration of third-party services (airlines, hotels, payment providers) is a level of complexity that we are accustomed to working with, which presents an extended attack surface. Each new integration could represent a potential security gap. Therefore, continuous validation, configuration, and optimization of security controls are crucial to minimize exposure and detect misconfigurations promptly.
Embedded cybersecurity from the early stages of custom travel software developement should be a standard, including secure coding practices, encrypted data transmission, identity and access management (IAM), and automated testing for vulnerabilities throughout the DevOps lifecycle.
Regular penetration testing can help maintain code quality and ensure adherence to best practices.
For user trust and businesses to run seamlessly, modern travel solutions should incorporate incident response plans, incident recovery, and system monitoring, providing resilience and protection. With continuous digitalization, securing digital experiences is key to long-term success in the travel industry.

Industry Trends and Innovation
Agentic AI for OTAs – Challenge accepted
Agentic AI systems redesign the future of travel. Proactive, autonomous, adaptable, and requiring minimal human intervention, Agentic AIs learn by processing data, making decisions, and acting, thereby transforming the planning process as we know it.
This is the natural step forward. Building on our over two decades of expertise in Travel tech, working with Big Data & Data Science, an Agentic AI only adds even more narrow expertise to our complex approach to the tech part of the travel industry; this includes property management software, Hotel Channel Manager, OTA software, corporate booking automation, flights reservation systems, to car rentals.
The integration of AI into booking platforms enables clearer identification of clients' needs, reduces time and budget spent, and fosters a stronger business based on competitiveness.
New Distribution Capability (NDC)
New Distribution Capability (NDC) is one of the biggest trends this year, according to business.booking.com. Though not a new feature, it is reaching its potential as more businesses adopt it. This data interface created by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) opens a new way for airlines to distribute personalized flight content. It strategically alignes fares to market demand using dynamic pricing.
Using the data provided through this interface, corporate travel managers can stay up to date with schedule changes and adjust bookings accordingly. Depending on the business characteristics, implementing NDC can enable multiple functionalities. AROBS has experience with the interface and can partner with you in scaling up your business.
ChatGPT and AI-powered tools are the new travel agents
It started as a discovery tool and has now evolved into a travel agent. According to Skift's Research Travel Outlook, 37% of travellers used AI tools such as ChatGPT to plan their future trips. And 83% were satisfied with the outcome. Nevertheless, we should use AI to improve what we already do, cheaper and faster, but not replace humans. Human touch remains at the core of travel experiences, fostering empathy and connection.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Practices
Travellers are becoming more and more environmentally conscious. Thus, sustainability in hospitality businesses is a non-negotiable priority, as revfine.com highlights in their latest search about key technology trends to watch and adopt in 2025.
This implies energy-efficient systems, waste reduction initiatives and sustainable sourcing. Renewable energy also represents a high interest among industry leaders in terms of wind power, solar power, hydropower and biomass. Though the implementation process can come with expenses, it is a long-term investment that is cost-saving and lowers resource consumption. In addition, it attracts travellers who value sustainability.
The trend also extends to ways of transportation. Though more comfortable, airline transportation has dropped in travellers' preferences, which begin to choose ground vehicles and rail transportation to reduce carbon footprints.
Nevertheless, this opens a new era for the use of biofuels in aviation, exploration of electric aircraft, hydrogen fuels or even hybrid to meet the need for lower carbon emissions. The cruise industry joins the trend of biofuels, also shifting to partially battery-powered hybrid ships.
Enhanced hospitality experiences with IoT
Rooms with light and climate control and entertainment systems powered by smartphones or voice commands – these are all enabled with IoT integration and smart devices. In addition, IoT also helps energy management and predictive maintenance, contributing to guest comfort and sustainability. The travel market is also developing narrow experiences to the point where remote luxury accommodations are more and more in demand, so IoT solutions offer support in contouring and making these accessible to travellers.
AR & VR – virtual experience before IRL experience
After the YouTube era, where we all went to see vlogs and videos from places we wanted to visit, now the AR&VR experiences are trending. While AR is the cheaper and more accessible version, where travellers can get an idea of the future experience, VR immerses you in the experience. From home comfort, you can decide whether or not you wish to travel somewhere, book accommodation or activity. Offering this feature to travellers can be a competitive advantage as well as speed up the decision process in choosing your business.
Big Data
Big Data in tourism management is vital. Since tourism implies seasonal characteristics and changes from year to year, collecting and analyzing travellers' data can improve and determine favourable adjustments for businesses to be ahead of the competition. Detail personalized experiences are a rising demand, and big data helps companies to know their customer better.
Also, business performance can be measured and used for revenue management, timeline occupancy rates and trends to predict demand and adapt pricing and promotions.
