Our take
Museums and attractions might have had people tolerating lengthy ticket-booth queues in the past, but the rising tide of digital transformation has today’s visitors expecting more. With many museums in particular operating on precarious funding models, they can’t afford to lose visitors, so Tiqet’s simple digital ticketing platform should offer something of a lifeline.
Tiqet’s easy browse-and-buy selection of e-tickets to top locations across the globe has proven especially useful - both for facilitating greater footfall, and for converting visitors to repeat customers with data gathering and analytics. It is this latter point that may prove especially useful: with an increasing proportion of museums' and attractions' revenue coming from gift shops and cafés, rather than ticket sales themselves, they are increasingly pivoting towards a consumer model. Consequently, they will need to keep a tighter finger on the pulse of consumer demand.
What bodes especially well for Tiqet has been an impressive funding round led by travel giant Airbnb, which offered guidance and collaboration to the startup. The company has led digital transformation in a key aspect of the tourism industry, and has made several advantageous partnerships with companies such as Klook and RUNNR.ai. At the end of 2025, it was announced that Expedia would acquire Tiqets, allowing the latter to benefit from the global travel group's wide-reaching network of partners.
