    Sam's Club Travel Relaunches With Cruises via Boundless Labs Partnership

    Sam's Club, the warehouse retail chain owned by Walmart, has relaunched Sam's Club Travel with a new cruise-booking site through a partnership with Boundless Labs, a five-year-old cruise-booking technology company. Sam's Club curates itineraries, sailings and destinations. The vast majority of cruise bookings industrywide still happen offline through human agents because of complexity spanning the sailing, cabin types, meal plans, flights to the embarkation port, hotel nights, transfers and shore excursions. Boundless Labs says more than 90% of the cruise bookings it handles for other partners, including Kayak and PerkSpot, happen online.

    Phocuswright: ANZ Travel Market to Contract in 2026

    According to Phocuswright, the ANZ travel market will contract nearly 5% to $37.4 billion in 2026, due to rising fuel costs, geopolitical instability, and cost-of-living pressures. In 2025, the market grew just 3.6% to $39.2 billion. Airlines and hotels are expected to decline, while car rental holds steady. Online penetration reached 59.5% in 2025 and is expected to reach 62% by 2029. Hotels remain the biggest OTA opportunity, but Booking.com's dominance may erode with direct bookings.

    SAP Concur: Why We're Thankful for Travel Technology

    A SAP Concur blog post reviews the evolution of travel technology: travelers once couldn't book trips themselves and had to use travel agencies; everything was paper-based, requiring airport ticket pickup; getting to the airport was expensive; hotel stays relied on word of mouth and phone reservations; and travelers had to lug around many devices. It notes that DIY booking engines like Travelocity and Expedia changed consumer booking, with business travel partners like Fox World Travel, Atlas Travel, and Uniglobe ONE Travel. Now travelers can book entire trips from anywhere via computer or smartphone and track itineraries on TripIt.
