Case Study: e-Travel stops web scraping and protects online data with Imperva Bot Management

e-Travel protects the integrity of its online data, affiliate program, look-to-book ratios, and GDS pull costs with Imperva

e-Travel is a fast-growing e-commerce travel specialist (launched 2007) that operates 11 sites in 42 languages and serves over 1.5M travelers annually. The company faced persistent web-scraping and bot attacks that stole pricing data, strained infrastructure, skewed look-to-book ratios, inflated GDS and advertising costs, and compromised affiliate metrics—problems their in-house “Bot Hammer” could not contain.

e-Travel deployed Imperva Bot Management, testing it on a major site before rolling it out to ten more. The solution integrated quickly with their ELK/HAProxy/AWS stack, stopped scrapers, eliminated site slowdowns, restored KPI integrity, reduced GDS and fraudulent click costs, and delivered measurable ROI—backed by responsive Imperva support.
