Most people think driving #directbookings is a traffic game, I think they are wrong. While traffic is obviously necessary, it doesn't guarantee conversion. Behavioral analysis + data confirmation has always been the best combination to me. So let's look into numbers : - 80% of OTA traffic visitors abandon their visit. - 43% of Americans didn’t like booking travel, including 23% of GenZ travelers. - A third of families considered the process of making online hotel bookings extremely time-consuming—23% of them didn’t enjoy booking trips. Sources: Euromonitor, Cloudbeds, Statista, SaleCycle "didn't like" - "Didn't enjoy"... To us #Directbooking has always been about guest experience. Bringing our A game into our website (And there is so much more to do...). We've thought our websites as a substract to our real life experience. And applying it one feature at a time. Here is an example: A guest is searching online for a listing with too much amenities, even with a big portfolio, you may be dry in results. Now 2 options. 1/ Sorry we don't have the result you are looking for. Search again❌ 2/ Sorry we don't have the result you are looking for. Here are what people with same criterias actually liked. Offer alternative options ✔ Smart websites is not about #Machinelearning and #AI. It's about leveraging technology to show your guests you care while you are not there. Right from your digital experience. Picking your brain here. How would you bring your guest experience into your online presence ?

Besides the obvious improvement to #guestexperience, properties that use GuestNexus enjoy aspects such as: - Revenue Growth: Boost order value with upsells and an AI concierge to answer any questions about the menu. - Reporting Insights: Uncover customer preferences, understand spending patterns, and easily identify needed inventory changes. - Centralized Workflow: Simplify IRD operations with one platform for all orders, menu edits, revenue tracking, and more.

I've seen lots of debate in the industry about whether #generativeAI will be useful in #hospitality and travel, and the consensus has typically been, "Well, it might be useful for travel planning, but definitely not for #hoteliers."

No more copy-and-paste templates, no more toggling between accounts and screens. A simple yet elegant application of genAI designed to save GMs tons of time.
