Increasing Trend of Traveling with Pets
As more pet owners choose to travel with their dogs, the demand for dog-friendly experiences has skyrocketed. According to Tripadvisor’s 2026 Travel Trendcast, bookings for dog-friendly accommodations have risen by 260% year-on-year. Additionally, CivicScience research indicates that the percentage of pet owners bringing their pets on summer vacations is expected to rise from 17% in 2024 to 26% in 2026.
Fi’s Tracking Technology
Fi provides advanced GPS tracking solutions, including a feature called Safe Zones. This functionality allows owners to set up designated areas for their dogs while traveling and receive alerts if their dog strays beyond those boundaries. Notably, 38% of the Safe Zones set during travel are in rural areas, highlighting the adventurous nature of pet-friendly travel.
Leadership Insights
Jonathan Bensamoun, CEO of Fi, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “We’re making it easier for more people to travel with their dogs, while bringing an added layer of safety and peace of mind to every adventure.” Bryan Terzi, Chief Commercial Officer at AutoCamp, adds, “We’re excited to help guests enjoy the benefits of the great outdoors while ensuring their pets are safe.”
Additional Information
The Fi Mini tracker is lightweight and attaches to any collar or harness, making it versatile for dogs of all sizes. It tracks activity levels, allows mapping of explored routes, and provides alerts if pets leave designated Safe Zones.
Guests can book the VIP Package through AutoCamp.com and will receive a 15% discount for Fi members via the Fi app. For more details on this partnership, visit Fi’s partnership page.
