Travel content creators are the main source of influence for leisure travel bookings. People love sharing travel content, with 60 percent of travelers (97 percent when it comes to millennials) sharing content about their trips on social media. This very content helps others decide where to go, with 86 percent of prospective travelers showing interest in a location after seeing user-generated content about it.
Millions of Dubai residents and visitors from across the globe can now share their favorite Dubai memories on Alike.io as bookable trip stories. Fellow tourists planning their next trip to Dubai will be able to select the most relevant of these stories and book them on Alike.io itself.
In addition, each booking resulting from their trip story will get the Creator of that story a share of the booking revenue, making their Dubai trip memories fund their next holiday.
Moreover, Alike.io will continue to reveal new features in the coming months and will launch across multiple global cities in phases. The initial phase will focus on launching in cities in Europe and the Middle East, building upon kitmytrip’s existing presence there. Later this summer, Alike.io aims to enhance its presence in key markets of India and Far East Asia.
