Understanding the High Risk Label in Travel
The travel industry faces unique challenges that contribute to its high risk label:
- Chargeback Rates: Travel bookings are often made well in advance, leading to higher probabilities of cancellations and chargebacks. The uncertainty caused by factors like weather conditions, personal emergencies, or global events like pandemics can increase these rates further.
- High Transaction Values: Typical transactions in the travel industry tend to be higher than in many other sectors. This increases the potential financial impact of fraud or chargebacks on payment processors.
