Middle East tourism is seeing record investment with governments positioning destinations as global cultural, leisure, and business hubs. This presents a major opportunity to strengthen digital infrastructure and link hotels, attractions, and transport providers for seamless cross-selling. By giving small and niche operators access to digital channels, destinations can diversify offerings, boost SME participation, enhance visitor experiences, and keep more value in the local economy through AI-powered ecosystems.
Why ecosystem transformation matters
Without a cohesive platform business model, tourism leaders miss out on significant opportunities due to:
Fragmented customer experiences (disparate providers, multiple booking systems) leading to drop-off & lower satisfaction.
Slower innovation: competitors with more integrated / rich experiences will take customer mindshare.
Higher operating cost: maintaining multiple legacy systems vs a unified one.
Missed revenue opportunities: inability to bundle, offer cross-sector services (e.g. combining lodging + tours + experiences).
Data silos: not leveraging customer behavior data to tailor or upsell.
