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.
