Why Event Organizers and Travel Partners Need Simple Refunds in an AI-Driven World

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way organizations operate. From marketing powered by AI SEO tools like Semrush and Surfer SEO, to airport systems run by smart automation, businesses are embracing AI to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

But with digital transformation comes a new reality: greater vulnerability to system failures, cyber-attacks, and connectivity breakdowns. For organizations managing high-value bookings, whether conferences, festivals, or tournaments, the stakes are higher than ever.

This is where Simple Refunds becomes a powerful business advantage.

The Ripple Effect of Tech Failures on Events and Travel

The recent European airport cyber-attack showed how fragile interconnected systems can be. Check-in systems went down, flights were delayed or cancelled, passengers missed onward connections, once-in-a-lifetime events, holidays, golf tournaments and business conferences.

Technology itself became the risk leaving thousands stranded and without refund protection travellers and ticketholders, delegates and holiday makers were left out of pocket and very dissatisfied.

The Hidden Cost of Tech Failures

For organizers, the impact was immediate:

• Delegates couldn’t reach conferences.
• Exhibitors missed entire shows.
• Ticketholders lost access to concerts, festivals, and sporting events.
• Holiday villa costs were lost.

When customers face disruption without protection, it damages both their wallets and their trust in the organizations they booked with.
