As evidence, Facebook announced on its official business blog some new additions and updates, which are added to its Travel Ads tool, in order to join the Facebook Ads services globally, Tow days ago.

Facebook reported that they were working on launching an ad solution called Flight Ads, a new feature or tool that will help Airline brands, travel marketers, and Travel campaigns advertisers to reach more potential travelers based on people’s visits to other flight-related Pages, websites and apps. According to these new additions, Airline brands can now reach more Facebook users who have the intention to travel globally.

As explained by Facebook, its Travel Ads tool could effectively serve both travelers and travel advertisers, as while Facebook users are searching several airline sites and flight pricing apps to make a trip or any journey, Flight Ads will enable Airline brands to reach those people with tailored ads promoting relevant flight routes, as well as travelers being shown several Ads to visit an airline brand’s site, that’s related to their searching.

Back in 2016, Facebook launched its Dynamic Ads for travel after they had released a case study which showed that 53% of travelers found holiday inspiration on Facebook, while travelers were also spending 5X more time on Facebook than on travel-related apps and sites in the planning process. Dynamic ads for travel was a tool or service which enables advertisers automatically show ads across Facebook, Instagram and Audience Network to people who are likely to take a trip, in addition, allow them to target those travelers with relevant ads based on their specific dates, destinations and other trip details.

Then, on 6 March 2018, Facebook announced on its official blog that they are developing a new update called “trip consideration” to help travel marketers, Travel brands, and advertisers reach people who have expressed intent to travel but have not yet decided where to go. Trip consideration is built to help them showcase deals, campaigns, and popular destinations to encourage people to book their next vacation at a specific destination.
