A key feature of the rating is the absence of subjective assessments: unlike awards and competitions, the "TravelTech Index" relies solely on objective metrics. The analysis is based on data from the "Innovative Mobility" platform, which combines content from more than 5,000 carriers (rail, air, bus, river, etc.). The rating captures real user activity: booking volumes, frequency of ticket searches, and intensity of interaction with services.
These parameters allow businesses to get a clear picture of market demand and identify the most popular solutions. According to Evgenia Chukhnova, General Director of RZD Digital Passenger Solutions LLC, the rating is designed to be a guide for companies, helping them focus on effective technologies and improve products for millions of travelers.
The rating results demonstrate the scale of the digital travel market in Russia. Participants of the "TravelTech Index" provided:
- ticket sales for 1.26 million trains (taking into account each departure from a specific station);
- bus tickets to 1,800 unique destinations;
- airline tickets for 14,000 flights.
