Are you one of those afraid of the digital world? Maybe, you don’t understand too much about it, do you? Or don’t know how to start. If those sceneries connect with you, this article is for you. Yet, it can also help you clarify the terms and steps you should consider to transform your business digitally.<\/span><\/p>\n

We decided to talk about this because we have found out that several of our business partners are still struggling to shift their business to a digital environment. Even so, the pandemic has pushed us to adopt and have an online presence. However, sometimes we don’t act and freeze due to misconceptions before embarking on the digital road. Thus, we’ll discuss the interconnection and differences between digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation. Also, we give you some questions that can help you set your roadmap to set the goals and digital strategy for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

As <\/span>Digital Tourism Think Tank<\/span><\/a> mentioned in their March 2022 report, the increasing pace of digitization has increased the importance of being digitally competitive. Leveraging digital to provide greater flexibility is closely linked to increased personalization of the digital visitor experience and an agile approach to prototype new solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digitization, Digitalization, or Digital Transformation?<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s common to see many using these terms as synonyms. However, they aren’t, but they’re interconnected. So, let’s find out more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digitization<\/b> converts an analog process to a digital format without changing the process itself. For instance, mechanizing existing manual and paper-based procedures. Its main value is reducing expenses and laying the foundation for the business to develop data-driven applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digitalization<\/b>, on the other hand, uses digital technology to alter the business model and generate new revenue and value-generating opportunities; it is the process of converting to a digital business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital transformation <\/b>is the significant and fast change of company operations, processes, capabilities, and models to fully harness the changes and possibilities brought about by digital technologies and their influence on society in a purposeful and prioritized manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary goal of digital transformation is to improve individual and organizational innovation and productivity<\/b> by enhancing the decision-making process, offering connectivity, boosting invention, and facilitating business growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do these concepts look like in our day-to-day life?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Digitize<\/b> by uploading your programs, budgeting, or customer service reports to the cloud, and allow your team to collaborate and update the information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digitalize<\/b> by using a CRM to manage the relationship with your customers. You can collect data like their needs, last trips booked, destinations they would like to visit, and type of interests they are into. Then, use the data to design authentic experiences that match your travelers’ desires. It’ll also help you to engage them and build a fidelity bond.<\/span><\/p>\n

Transform your business digitally<\/b> after many digitizing processes, helping you identify the gaps in your service that can be filled through technology. For example, a mobile app to upload travelers’ journeys before their trip or send them push-up notifications to remind them what to bring for their next day’s itinerary. Or may adjust your website to offer travelers online bookings and payments options.<\/span><\/p>\n
