Why it matters
DMOs & destinations
DMOs depend on executive sentiment and strategic direction from travel operators to plan destination positioning and partnership priorities. McKinsey surveys track operator confidence, technology investment and market shift intentions—intelligence essential for DMO positioning and funding allocation.
Hotels & hospitality
Hotel groups and operators use McKinsey research to benchmark strategic priorities, technology adoption and operational practices against sector norms. Survey findings on AI, automation and cost pressures inform capital allocation, staffing strategy and competitive positioning decisions.
Travel tech & distribution
Travel tech platforms and distributors monitor McKinsey surveys for signals on operator demand for new solutions, technology stack priorities and integration readiness. Executive survey data shapes product roadmaps, partnership strategy and go-to-market timing for emerging platforms.
