Tripadvisor | In – App Hotel Booking Launch Tripadvisor has a new feature that will allow users to book the desired hotel directly from the portal app. The US group's platform already has implemented a new feature where Tripadvisor members can have the opportunity to book restaurants, experiences and now it is introducing the hotel booking online feature.   To develop all that, Tripadvisor has established a partnership with HTS, Hopper Technology Solutions which will see the enhancement of hotel bookings as well as offering an inventory of accommodation in the group app. Tripadvisor President Kristen Danton declared that the company's desire is for the app to be an essential tool for members, which is why it started with the introduction of Tripadvisor's AI Trip Builder in early 2023 and will continue with the implementation of this latest improvement. The opportunity to book the hotel directly within the app is a crucial step of the user journey and the partnership with HTS allows Tripadvisor to focus internal efforts to create an exceptional user experience while leveraging a partner to grow at a faster pace. https://lnkd.in/ebY8YmwE

Breaking Down The Key Factors Impacting OTA Profitability While sales volume (TTV/GBV) is an important factor for OTAs selling #hotel bookings, the profitability of that turnover is influenced by multiple factors: - Gross sales margin (commissions and markups) - COGS (HR & Tech) - Credit card processing fees - Customer acquisition costs (marketing and referrals) Common sense is that the margins should cover the 3 C's to remain profitable and travel companies need to find ways to impact all these 4 core metrics to increase their Net profit. In my next posts I will demonstrate how improvement in Net profit can be achieved without changes to COGS, CACs and CC fees. #TravelIndustry #RevenueManagement #CostAnalysis #Profitability

🏨 Since their introduction, customer reviews for hospitality properties have become an essential tool in the #tourism industry, allowing travelers to get an immediate and intuitive picture of the quality of an accommodation based on the experiences of previous guests. At the same time, they are also essential for operators in the industry, not only to attract new customers, but also to constantly monitor and improve the quality of their offerings. 💻 In a scenario where technology is the key to connecting tour operators and suppliers and optimizing their processes, I believe that customer reviews become a valuable analytical tool, allowing the selection of the most reliable and quality establishments, improving operational efficiency and increasing customer satisfaction. A strategic resource for both travelers and B2B operators, facilitating informed decisions and promoting growth in the competitive tourism market. #Netstorming #traveltech #touroperator
