The report delivers actionable insights into how biometrics can be leveraged to address critical challenges in travel and hospitality, from fraud prevention and automation to enhancing guest experiences and meeting regulatory requirements.
Transformative Impact of Biometrics
"While air travel continues to maintain sector dominance, biometric digital identity is on course to revolutionize the travel and hospitality industry far beyond the airport," said Maxine Most, founder of The Prism Project and Acuity Market Intelligence and report author. "The explosive market growth reflects how biometrics are transforming the entire guest journey, uniting historically siloed touchpoints across booking, transit, accommodations, and entertainment while improving security and combating fraud."
The report assesses six key travel and hospitality sectors and evaluates five key regions.
Sector highlights:
- Air Travel: Largest segment with 47% revenue market share.
- Hotels and Resorts: Significant contribution with 33% revenue market share.
- Casinos, Sports Venues, Theme Parks, and Conference Venues: The remaining 20% of the market.
Regional highlights:
- APAC dominates with 29% of total revenue.
- Europe and North America each contribute 26% of total revenue.
- Emerging Regions LATAM and MEA have strong growth potential with a combined 19% revenue share.
Introducing the Couch-to-Destination Journey
The report introduces the Couch-to-Destination Journey framework. This framework illustrates how biometric solutions anchor a guest's identity at the beginning of their journey, allowing every subsequent transaction to balance security, privacy, and user convenience while carrying forward the assurance that they are who they claim to be.
"The Couch-to-Destination Journey is envisioned as an uninterrupted corridor, threading together four historically distinct ecosystems—departure, arrival, local transport, and destination—via their common element: a guest empowered by biometric digital identity," Most said. "The ideal couch-to-destination guest journey is not a complex web that a user must navigate as the cost of traveling or doing business; it's a seamlessly integrated straight line maintained by the trust, security, and privacy of biometrics at the core."
