Overcoming a World of Challenges

Hotels around the globe receive a growing, and now vital, portion of reservations from electronic distribution channels – including their web site, online travel agencies and the global distribution systems.

Hotel executives are endeavoring to understand each channel's production potential  and overhead costs. They are striving to use an array of tools – their CRS, competitive rate shoppers, channel management systems, numerous in-house and external reports, revenue management systems and others – to strike the most profitable balance among these electronic channels and between them and traditional reservation production channels.

Maximizing revenue, protecting price integrity and maintaining client relationships are all made immensely more challenging by the fast-evolving online world. Traveler reviews, social media commentary, reputation management, presentation and bookability on smart phones and tablets are all essential to understand and address in a considered, effective manner.  

Hospitality Technology Consulting works with hotels to understand trends, identify opportunities, create strategies, evaluate service partners and technology options, and make informed decisions -- decisions geared to optimizing reservation production for hotels and hotel brands.
