Time for a Better Itinerary: Proactive Brand Protection for Travel & Hospitality
A Smarter Approach to Proactive Brand Protection for Travel & Hospitality in EMEA
Phishing scams and fraudulent booking sites pose serious risks for travel and hospitality brands—especially during peak season. For legal professionals across EMEA, protecting brand reputation is essential to maintaining customer trust and safeguarding millions in seasonal revenue.
As digital traffic increases, bad actors take advantage of consumer confidence through fake domains, social media impersonation, and misleading paid ads. If your current brand protection approach feels like a constant game of “whack-a-mole” across expanding digital channels, revenue loss and regulatory exposure may already be occurring. Reactive, manual enforcement is no longer sufficient.
The answer is a collaborative defense model: AI-powered speed combined with expert human oversight to deliver effective, compliant digital risk protection across Europe.
Key Digital Risk Vectors Impacting Travel Brands
Threat actors target travel brands using tactics designed to mislead customers and divert revenue, including:
- Domain Spoofing (Cybersquatting): Near-identical websites created to steal personal and financial data.
- Social Media Impersonation: Fake customer service or booking accounts that redirect users and damage brand credibility.
- Paid Ad Hijacking: Unauthorized use of brand names in ads that send consumers to fraudulent destinations.
These activities erode trust while increasing legal and compliance burdens. A modern defense strategy must be capable of responding quickly and effectively—particularly during high-traffic periods.

Effective brand protection depends on speed. The faster a threat is identified and addressed, the lower the impact on customers and revenue.
