Lessons learned since founding
Since founding SquadTrip, I’ve had the privilege of learning
valuable lessons that have shaped our journey. One key insight is that the
demand for simplifying and enhancing the group travel booking experience
extends beyond consumers. Online travel agencies, traditional travel agencies, hotels and cruise
lines are equally eager to streamline this process for their customers. This
revelation has guided our mission to provide a comprehensive solution that
benefits not only travelers but also industry partners.
Furthermore, I’ve observed the emergence of a dynamic new
generation of “travelpreneurs” who are actively building innovative travel
brands. These entrepreneurs bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the market,
driving us to continually innovate and adapt to the evolving landscape of group
travel. SquadTrip is committed to supporting and collaborating with this new
wave of travel enthusiasts as we collectively work to reshape the future of
group travel booking.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that while discretionary
spending in some areas may be down, travel spending is on the rise. People are
increasingly interested in paying for their trips in installments, even if it
means paying a premium, as they prefer alternatives to traditional credit
options like Afterpay and Klarna. This trend underscores the importance of
flexible payment solutions in the travel industry, a facet we are actively
addressing at SquadTrip to meet the evolving needs of travelers and partners
alike.
