Introduction

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Visit Group (also known as "Visit") is a Nordic powerhouse in travel technology.

The Challenge

Visit Group, a leading travel tech provider based in Sweden, serves various verticals, from hotels and amusement parks to ski resorts and destination management. With guest confidence becoming a key driver in online bookings, Visit Group sought a solution to reduce friction at checkout and encourage more guests to commit to bookings, even when plans might change unexpectedly.

The Solution

Visit Group integrated Refund Protect into its booking flows, empowering guests to add refund protection across hotels, attractions, and ski resorts at checkout. This solution enabled partners within the Visit ecosystem to increase conversion rates by removing booking hesitation for travellers.

The Result

Over 3,000 guests opted to protect their booking in the first implementation phase, representing a 17.5% conversion rate. This translated into over $1 million worth of Visit Group bookings protected by Refund Protect, creating tangible results for Visit Group and its network of operators.
