🌟 Are you fully utilizing your property's potential? 🌟 According to a recent article by PhocusWire with changing guest expectations, it's essential to redefine key metrics such as occupancy. Defining occupancy merely as the percentage of rooms booked for overnight stays restricts potential. Today, true occupancy is better understood as optimizing the utility and profitability of every space within your property, ensuring they are used as much as possible. 📈 At Triparound we believe that hospitality businesses should take it a step further and leverage untapped revenue streams. Apart from optimizing room rates and maximizing room use, think about increasing revenue from extra services. Remember that today's guests expect an immaculate room, however you'll achieve the 'wow' factor by providing exceptional experiences and a seamless booking journey. ✨ Want to learn how Triparound can help you on this journey?

Personalization at its best! It's worth listening to Martin's interview where he talks about his vision of Place Value Hotelmanagement GmbH and how GauVendi is allowing them to achieve the personalization their guests demand!
Isn’t it shocking that for so many hotel owners technology is still an afterthought? 📱 COVID showed many owners the power of technology ❌The labor shortage convinced many more owners of the power that technology has to help them operate more efficiently with a skeleton team But there’s still a long way to go. Martin Kemmer, Founder and Managing Director at Place Value Hotelmanagement GmbH bucks this trend. Martin represents a new generation of hotel owners that have a deep understanding of tech - so it was a pleasure to have him on this week’s episode of the Hotel Tech Insider podcast where we go cover what’s top of mind for tech oriented owners right now: ✅ Using data rather than feel to inform room layouts, amenities and any strategic decision ✅ Modern techniques around attribute based selling ✅ How augmented reality will change hotel operations from welcoming guests to maintenance ✅ His favorite tech tools like Mews, Microsoft and GauVendi Want to hear the full episode? Spotify and Apple Podcasts *link in comments* below ⬇️ Next week we've got a very special episode with Floor Bleeker, CTO at Accor to honor his induction into the hotel tech hall of fame - so follow Hotel Tech Insider on your favorite podcast platform to get updated each week. #hoteltechnology #digitaltransformation #innovation #proptech #hotelmanagement
