What is the Direct Booking Summit? The Direct Booking Summit is an event that unites hundreds of hoteliers every year to strategize, network and drive the Direct Booking Movement forward, a movement built within the hospitality industry to protect hoteliers from OTAs and increase the number of direct bookings received. Not only were we proud to sponsor the event, but we also celebrated the launch of allora.ai across North America, offering our advanced AI technology to hotels and businesses further afield. We’re excited to see the success that this will generate, improving the direct booking experience for every guest whilst securing more bookings for hoteliers.

How can you maintain guest retention Without a doubt, one of the most challenging things about running a hotel is the tendency for guests to make a reservation but then frustratingly cancel at the last minute. Given the current climate we are all facing, there are multiple reasons why travellers and guests are cancelling their bookings and deciding to drop-out of their plans at the last minute. As rates rise year on year, forecasting and pricing decisions for hoteliers will continue to be undermined which magnifies inefficiencies, increases costs, and damages margins....

Customer service vs customer experience — is there really a difference?

We all know that hospitality is a fiercely competitive market, and with increasingly high expectations from the consumer it’s impossible to stand still.

Smart Content and Personalising the Guest Journey

By |2022-03-03T17:26:40+00:00March 3rd, 2022|Booking Engine, Personalisation|

This means they are likely to do lots of research and not book on the first visit to your website.
