New Travel, Transportation, and Hospitality Digital Services 2026 RadarView™ profiles 23 recognized providers advancing intelligent operations and customer engagement.

LOS ANGELES, CA – August, 2026

Avasant, a leading management consulting and research firm, has released its Travel, Transportation, and Hospitality Digital Services 2026 RadarView™, examining how intelligent technologies support revenue, customer experience, and sustainability.

Avasant evaluated 50 providers and recognized 23 across five categories: Leaders, Innovators, Disruptors, Challengers, and Tech Pioneers.

Among the report’s key findings:

  • AI is helping enterprises respond to volatile demand. Revenue management platforms support forecasting and dynamic pricing as competition puts pressure on margins.
  • Direct customer engagement is becoming a strategic priority. AI-assisted bookings and personalized recommendations help enterprises strengthen digital channels and reduce reliance on intermediaries.
  • Predictive maintenance is improving asset availability. AI, IoT, and digital engineering help reduce downtime and manage aging infrastructure.
  • Contactless experiences and sustainability are shaping investment. Digital check-in, touchless payments, energy management, and carbon monitoring support evolving traveler expectations and operational priorities.

These findings suggest that enterprises should assess technology investments against customer experience, asset performance, and revenue outcomes.

“Travel and hospitality enterprises are rearchitecting their business around intelligence,” said Sahaj Kumar, Research Director at Avasant.

Providers are deploying intelligent platforms across the value chain, with growing emphasis on agentic systems that coordinate enterprise workflows. Buyers should examine integration capabilities and delivery expertise alongside individual AI features.
