Industry Statistics
The State of Click Fraud in Travel & Hospitality
Click fraud in travel is more than wasted spend, it's a threat to your inventory. Bots use paid ads to scrape real-time pricing and "hoard" availability, creating artificial sell-outs that block human bookings.
Without dedicated click fraud software, your campaigns optimize toward bots and non-incremental repeat clicks. In a high-CPC industry, this distorts your data and erodes margins that are already under pressure.

In the travel sector, click fraud involves bots, automated scripts, or competitors clicking on paid ads with no intent to book. This often manifests as price-scraping bots that use your paid search budget to monitor and undercut your real-time pricing and availability.
Travel brands face a unique threat known as inventory hoarding, where automated traffic progresses deep into the booking funnel to "hold" flights, rooms, or packages. These bots reach checkout or payment steps in 10% to 25% of observed sessions, blocking genuine travellers from accessing limited supply.
With travel CPCs increasing by 15% to 30% year-on-year, the cost of every wasted click is amplified. In an industry where margins are often in the single digits, unaddressed click fraud can quickly make a campaign unprofitable.
Non-incremental clicks occur when users, typically existing customers, use paid ads as a navigation tool to reach a site they would have visited anyway. This frequently happens when travellers who have already booked click a paid brand ad to manage their itinerary, creating pure wasted spend with no new revenue.
While platforms provide basic filtering, they struggle to distinguish sophisticated bots from real travellers deep in the funnel. Dedicated click fraud software is required to identify industry-specific patterns like inventory hoarding and to cap the behaviour of returning users who have already converted.
When bots and repeat users trigger conversion signals, bidding algorithms learn from fake demand and low-value behaviour. This can inflate your CPA by 20% or more as the algorithm incorrectly allocates budget toward non-converting automated traffic.
Standard ad fraud prevention focuses on blocking fake clicks, whereas inventory protection prevents bots from interacting with your bookable supply. This ensures that your finite inventory remains available for human travellers, protecting your conversion rates during critical booking windows.
Yes. During peak seasons, invalid or automated traffic typically spikes by 2 to 3 times compared to off-peak periods. Implementing click fraud protection ensures your peak-season performance is not compromised by automated abuse or competitors scraping your high-demand pricing.
