Tailoring the Holiday Booking Experience for Families

The challenge

Our client, a leading holiday rental marketplace, embarked on a mission to become the ultimate booking destination for families. They recognized that the definition of a “family” is fluid and can vary significantly across cultures and countries, requiring a nuanced understanding of diverse traveler needs.

What we did

We used a mixed-methods approach, combining an online survey and segmentation analysis across Japan, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand with in-depth interviews and ethnographic research. This allowed us to understand the unique needs, pain points, and planning behaviors of different family types, from single parents to those with children of various ages.

The impact of the research

These insights gave our client an actionable roadmap to improve their online booking experience and cater to each family segment. This tailored approach led to increased repeat business, strengthened their reputation, and demonstrated how a deep understanding of customer needs can drive both loyalty and growth.
