A new international survey conducted by WEX (NYSE: WEX) in partnership with FT Longitude reveals that 74% of travel intermediaries forecast growth this year, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.

The research, titled "Avoiding Payment Jet Lag," surveyed 300 senior executives across Australia, Germany, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. While conflict in the Middle East has lowered initial expectations for some, the majority of industry leaders remain optimistic about their 2026 performance. This resilience is largely attributed to proactive financial innovation and the modernization of legacy payment infrastructures.

Operational Resilience Through Payment Modernization

Industry leaders identify updating back-office financial operations as critical to maintaining customer loyalty and providing 24/7 support. The survey indicates that system limitations during market disruptions can negatively impact customer loyalty (79%) and hinder the ability to offer continuous payment support (57%).

Jason Hancock, managing director of Global Travel at WEX, noted that operational resilience in 2026 depends significantly on digital payment architecture. "Travel intermediaries are no longer just playing defense against escalating market volatility or supplier insolvencies," Hancock said. "Instead, they are transforming their own modern payment architecture into proactive tools for risk protection, cash flow flexibility, and sustainable growth."

Strategic Shifts in Travel Operations

The survey highlights several key trends shaping the travel intermediary landscape:

• Premium services stabilize margins: Despite adverse events, 61% of respondents report steady consumer demand. Crucially, 86% of executives state that premium packages help stabilize margins during crises.
• Chargeback security imperative: 84% of executives perceive the risk of financial loss from supplier insolvency as higher than it was 12 months ago. Additionally, 82% believe better chargeback frameworks could improve supplier payment recovery rates.
• AI-driven automation: 59% of travel organizations plan to scale AI-driven tools for customer assistance, while 54% intend to deploy agentic AI for discovery efforts, maintaining centralized human control over booking decisions.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a distinct divergence between perceived external risk and internal strategic confidence. While 84% of executives report an increased perception of supplier insolvency risk compared to the previous year, 74% still forecast overall growth. This suggests that intermediaries are not merely weathering the storm but are actively leveraging premium service offerings and payment modernization to offset heightened operational risks. The high correlation between margin stabilization strategies (86% citing premium packages) and growth forecasts implies that revenue quality is becoming as important as volume in navigating geopolitical volatility.

Methodology and Scope

The findings are based on responses from 300 senior travel industry executives, including 30% from the C-suite and 70% from C-1 and C-2 levels. The sample covers enterprise revenue bands ranging from $50 million to $50 billion. By company type, the study includes insights from online travel agencies (OTAs) (60%), travel management companies (TMCs) (25%), and other travel intermediaries or third-party suppliers, such as wholesalers, aggregators, bed banks, and global distribution system (GDS) providers (15%).

WEX provides API-driven payment platforms and virtual card infrastructure to help travel organizations mitigate risks associated with supplier insolvency, volatile currency exchange rates, and payment fraud.
