COVID may have knocked the travel industry down in 2020, but it’s back – and it’s gone online like gangbusters.
From first-time to seasoned ecommerce customers, more and more people are flying and buying using apps and websites. And the trajectory is upward. The industry is expected to see tremendous growth through 2025 with nearly three-quarters of revenue coming from online sales.
Great news, right? It is … if airline and travel businesses are prepared to handle the swath of fraud attempts that have already begun to plague the industry.
The problem is that this type of fraud is tricky to identify. Simple fraud filters won’t be as effective because the data that travel companies use as identifiers are mostly based on names — and not information like address, phone or email. That opens a world of opportunity for fraudsters. Companies in this industry need to understand how to detect and prevent online fraud if they want to survive.

The phrase “you don’t know what you don’t know” applies with unnerving precision here. There are several revenue-damaging pitfalls to the typical enterprise fraud protection approach, and these pitfalls often result in lost revenue.
Fraud never grows in a straight line—it’s always dynamic. The good news? A more sophisticated fraud prevention strategy can keep ahead of fraudsters while preventing lost sales.
