Cookie Consent Manager for Tourism
The tourism industry is fast-moving and highly digitized: price comparisons, hotel bookings and check-in, train and plane tickets, seat reservations in hotels or planning events and rental cars on vacation are just the most common examples of the strong competition on the Internet. Online business and the web presence for tour operators, hotels and the like have become essential, particularly due to the optimization for mobile devices. It is all the more important to maximize customer satisfaction and the user experience on the website with an outstanding consent manager and to know the target group as precisely as possible.

Why a cookie consent manager is important for the tourism industry
Hospitality is the core competency of hotel professionals. Anyone who works in the tourism industry has made it their heart’s work to pamper their customers and offer them an unforgettably wonderful holiday. Consentmanager is the solution for the following areas:
- Legal certainty regarding compliance with the GDPR in the EU and the CCPA in California . You avoid sensitive fines because you always handle personal data correctly. This applies to both your own processing and the transfer of data to third parties, e.g. to regional partners with whom you work on your website.
- Your customers’ privacy: Just like hotel guests have to lock their valuables in a safe and go through security at the airport, your customers rely on the protection of their personal data when they visit your website.
- Customer satisfaction and acceptance rate: The cookie banner is your online reception – welcome the customers, otherwise they will leave your location again. In addition, the cookie banner can be individually adapted, e.g. with regard to corporate design.
- Customer requests and opt-in: If you want to anticipate all your guests’ requests, you need data. And a high opt-in rate.
- Internationality: The more languages you cover in your hotel or the more destinations an airline offers, the larger the target group. And the more comfortable your guests will feel. Consentmanager’s cookie solution is available in over 30 languages .
- Win loyal customers: If you have made sure that your customers can enjoy a wonderful holiday, they will be happy to come back to you. Especially if the website is clear and customer-friendly and personal data is protected. Your customers will remember the hassle-free booking experience and anticipation. The positive user experience increases the loyalty of your customers. And that in turn is an important factor in view of the high acquisition costs for new customers.
- Easy crisis management: With Consentmanager it is very easy to process requests for access or deletion of personal data and to reply to your customers quickly and professionally. This saves you time and leaves a positive impression on the customer.
- Professionalism: You provide your main service with the highest quality and professionalism. The website often becomes a necessary secondary matter. Nowadays it is the first contact with your customer. Here you have to show the same excellence and high quality as in your actual job. In your industry, recommendations and customer ratings are essential – and the first impression contributes significantly to this. How you deal with the GDPR or the CCPA also plays an important role for customers.
