Supplier payment inefficiencies threaten OTA growth

Leisure travel is growing, creating opportunities for OTAs

Between now and 2040 global leisure travel demand is forecast to triple to $15 trillion as consumers prioritise spending on bespoke itineraries and unique experiences. For OTAs, the opportunity is clear: expand supplier networks, adapt payments, and capture a bigger share of this rapidly growing market.

Artificial intelligence is changing traveller expectations...

From finding authentic experiences to curating itineraries, travellers are turning to AI tools in record numbers. With two-thirds of travellers already using AI on their journeys, you must adapt quickly to meet these rising expectations or risk being left behind.

But how OTAs pay suppliers hasn’t kept up with change

Pay-outs across a patchwork of banks and payment service providers create delays, failed payments, endless manual reconciliation and lock up your cash flow. As demand grows and supplier networks expand, these inefficiencies don’t just slow you down, they stop you from scaling.

Leisure travel spend is soaring, but outdated supplier payment processes are holding OTAs back. With margins tight and traveller expectations rising, now’s the time to take a strategic approach to supplier payments so you can unlock liquidity, scale with new partners and capture the growth ahead.

Low acceptance rates with suppliers mean failed bookings and eroded margins. With broader virtual card product ranges and account-to-account options, you can work with more suppliers, more reliably.
