Why do hotels need a system like Hotelinking to compile data that comes from their own guests?
- Bookings that come from TTOOs and OTAs only share transactional data, and marketing data from guests is blocked most of the time.
- The data collected from direct bookings only includes the main guest on the booking, but not his or her companions.
- Data collection from reception staff is a manual and non-digitalised process. It is not efficient or automated and does not have the capacity to verify the data in real time, leading to capture rates that are much lower than expected.
