How visible is your hotel to potential guests? 🌐 With so many hotels competing for attention, simply having a website is not enough to make an impact on your direct bookings. Potential guests are less likely to find your hotel website if it doesn’t appear in the top search results. Without proper optimisation and visibility, they may end up booking with your competitors - or booking your hotel but on an OTA - leading to lost - or less - revenue. The solution? A comprehensive and well-balanced digital strategy. SEO: Optimise your content for better organic rankings. SEA: Get your hotel to the top of search results through targeted campaigns. Quality Content: Engage visitors and encourage them to book. Need help creating the right web traffic strategy? Turn to the experts 🚀. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMTXn_ns

🔍 Did you know that 80% of GDS bookings come from the corporate segment? And did you know that this segment can be particularly strategic for your business? Corporate bookings are especially valuable, as business travelers spend about twice as much as leisure guests. A significant portion of this market is managed by Travel Management Companies like Amex GBT, CWT, and BCD, who primarily use the GDS for bookings. Being present on the GDS not only boosts your visibility to these agencies but also gives you access to lucrative Request for Proposal opportunities. In our latest article, "The GDS: A High-Performing Distribution Channel Too Many Hotels Overlook," we explore the pros and cons of GDS, supported by booking data and real-life experiences from hoteliers across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Even a rainy Thursday morning couldn't dampen the spirits of hoteliers in Kota Kinabalu! Our final stop of D-EDGE Hospitality Solutions' D-Talks APAC tour was a vibrate gathering of eager minds.

The workshop hummed with energy as we explored AI as an opportunity, not a threat. The sound of laughter echoing through the room was the perfect way to wrap up our 16-stop sharing and learning tour across APAC. What a rewarding experience it's been connecting with so many passionate professionals! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us along the way.

The cheat code to boost your bookings and optimise margins! 👾 As a hotelier, you may sometimes struggle to choose between direct and indirect distribution. Indeed, direct distribution helps build stronger guest relationships, control your brand, and optimise profit margins by avoiding third-party fees. However, we can’t overlook the power of indirect channels (OTAs, GDS): they expand your reach, capture different market segments, and boost global visibility. The trick to a winning strategy for any hotelier? Combining direct and indirect channels. Balancing both approaches enhances flexibility, increases occupancy, and adapts quickly to market demand. 🌐 Not sure how? Send us a direct message, and we'll connect you to one of our experts who will help you craft the perfect strategy for your hotel.

🌍 Are you struggling to smooth out seasonality or reach new markets? Discover how the Global Distribution System can become a powerful distribution channel, especially for business-oriented hotels. It connects your property with travel agencies and corporate travellers, helping to fill rooms year-round. However, the GDS isn't always the best fit for every hotel for various reasons. With transaction fees, commissions, and marketing costs, some hoteliers also find its structure complex and limiting. So, are you missing out on GDS opportunities? How can you make sure you're not overlooking this platform? In our latest article, we share our research and offer tips to position yourself effectively and find the GDS provider that will maximise your objectives. 📈👉 https://lnkd.in/exFwmExm
