Hotels
Hotel owners and operators can employ analytics to improve RevPAR, increase occupancy and drive ancillary sales
The hotel industry is highly competitive. Rooms are sold directly and indirectly, across a variety of channels. Internet channels, where the prominent marketing of room rates can undervalue guest amenities and guest experience, threaten to commoditize inventory.
Hotels can leverage comprehensive guest data to improve demand management and increase occupancy rates. Hotels can use competitor information, including real-time monitoring of competitor rates, to optimize pricing and increase sales. Through effective channel management, hotels can better allocate inventory across channels at profitable rates, and can negotiate favorable deals with channel partners. Through merchandising of ancillary products, hotels can drive incremental revenue and increase customer satisfaction, both at time of booking and time of arrival.
