Travel & Hospitality Technology

Travel & Hospitality has undergone significant changes in recent years, with the rise of online travel agencies (OTAs), and home-sharing platforms like Airbnb. These changes have created new challenges for hospitality and travel companies, including increased competition for bookings and the need to provide personalized guest experiences. The key to overcoming these challenges is by providing real-time personalization, data synchronization and protection for guest-centric experiences.

New booking engine options

In the past, travelers would typically book their trips through a travel agent or direct from a hotel or airline. However, the rise of OTAs such as Expedia, Booking.com, and TripAdvisor, as well as booking engines integrated into hospitality and travel company websites, has changed how people book travel.

The rise of OTAs, home-sharing platforms, and other services has created increased competition for bookings in the hospitality and travel industry. This competition can make it challenging for hospitality and travel companies to attract and retain guests, especially as consumers have more options.

To compete in this environment, hospitality and travel companies need to provide exceptional guest experiences that differentiate them from their competitors. This means providing personalized experiences that meet the unique needs and preferences of each guest.

Dynamic pricing for the most profitable capacity

Dynamic pricing has also become a common practice in the hospitality and travel industry. Dynamic pricing involves adjusting prices in real-time based on supply and demand. This allows hospitality and travel companies to maximize revenue by charging higher prices during periods of high demand and lower prices during periods of low demand. However, implementing dynamic pricing can be challenging and requires access to real-time data and analytics to help them implement dynamic pricing strategies and maximize revenue.

Real-time personalization, data synchronization and protection

Personalized recommendations for activities, restaurants, and local attractions based on a guest's preferences and previous bookings are going to be the standard. Real-time personalization can help to improve the guest experience and increase customer loyalty even faster.

Hospitality and travel companies often manage data across multiple locations and systems, including hotel management systems, booking engines, and loyalty programs. Real-time data synchronization across multiple systems and locations will ensure that guest, facility, plane or other logistical data is up-to-date and accurate.

With the increasing amount of guest data being collected, hospitality and travel companies must protect guest data from cyber threats and ensure compliance with data protection regulations. Advanced security features, including encryption and multi-factor authentication can help protect guest data from unauthorized access.
