"Travel marketers are entering a new era, one shaped by longer, more specific searches and content created by travelers themselves."
""We're seeing the biggest revolution in search since search began," said Maxim Braverman, Google's managing director of sales for the Middle East and North Africa, at the Skift Global Forum East in Abu Dhabi."
Travel marketers are entering a new era defined by longer, more specific search queries and by content produced directly by travelers. Search behavior is shifting toward detailed, intent-rich phrases that require different optimization and content strategies. Traveler-created photos, reviews, and narratives are becoming primary influences on destination discovery and purchase decisions. Search platforms and ranking signals are evolving to surface authentic, user-generated content alongside traditional promotional material. Marketers must prioritize long-tail SEO, authentic content amplification, community engagement, and measurement frameworks that capture the impact of traveler-generated content on conversions.
