🇬🇧 About the Institute
Our Mission
The Global Travel Analytics Institute (GTAI) is an independent research center that provides consumers with transparent data to make better financial decisions when planning vacations. We analyze pricing models, read the fine print, and calculate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for holidays. Our goal is to empower travelers with accurate information about the true cost of their trips.
What We Do
Our research covers multiple areas of the travel industry:
- Price Transparency Analysis: We expose hidden fees, resort charges, destination fees, and drip pricing practices that inflate the final cost of travel
- TCO Calculations: Comparing actual total costs between hotels, resorts, and cruise lines to help consumers understand the real price
- Consumer Protection: Information about your legal rights, current regulations like FTC Junk Fees Rule, and how to file complaints
- Market Research: Independent studies on tourism industry trends, pricing patterns, and consumer satisfaction surveys
- Comparative Reports: Side-by-side analysis of different vacation options including all-inclusive resorts versus cruise packages
Our Methodology
Our analyses are based on public data sources including FTC reports, court filings, industry statistics from organizations like STR and CLIA, proprietary research, and consumer surveys. We collect pricing data from multiple booking platforms and verify hidden fees through test bookings. We are committed to editorial independence — advertising revenue does not influence our ratings or recommendations. All our findings are documented and verifiable.
Our Team
GTAI employs experienced analysts with backgrounds in hospitality management, consumer advocacy, data science, and journalism. Our team reviews thousands of booking transactions, legal documents, and consumer complaints to produce accurate, unbiased reports.
