First Party Data Generation and Activation for hotels through a Wi-Fi Captive Portal.

We connect to the leading PMS systems on the market to enrich the capacity of data segmentation and integrate with key partners of First-party data activation.

What actually is First-party Data?

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.

How can we generate First Data Party from our guests?

Due to the technology offered by Hotelinking, we are able to cross-reference the guest data obtained when making the reservation and that are in the Hotel’s PMS, with the data we obtain first-hand from the guest through the Captive Portal of our Social WiFi & Automation product.

In this way we enrich the establishment’s database with high quality information that will allow us to segment our marketing campaigns and help to disintermediate bookings.
