Nowadays, we find ourselves in a situation where marketing strategies,\r\nmainly online ones, are no longer effective when they only consider the markets\r\nthat the hotel targets in the planning phase, as this concept is too wide. Currently,\r\nplanning and adaptation of the digital marketing strategies must be based on\r\nquality contact data<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This information represents Hotel Data<\/a><\/strong>, the universe related to the data obtained from guests, that helps to create and document consumer profiles<\/strong> (buyers<\/em>) that the hotel industry must consider in each marketing action to be implemented.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Beyond the fundamental contact information, the basic data block that this Hotel Data must include, it is also necessary to know what the guest\u2019s destination, service and complementary activity preferences are. In other words, it is necessary to consider a transactional data block that tells us what the spending habits and trends are in terms of bookings and trips of each profile or buyer<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Due to\r\nits characteristics, the hotel industry needs to work with guest data which is\r\nsignificant both in terms of quantity and quality. However, the existence of\r\ncertain leaks, mainly caused by the intervention of intermediaries in the\r\nbooking process, makes the acquisition of this data difficult. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Lack\r\nof information from booking channels.<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the hotel industry, 80% to 90% of sales usually come from third\r\nparties. <\/strong>It is almost impossible to obtain relevant guest information for\r\nthe hotel from these. The main reason for this is that these channels do not\r\nshare fundamental Hotel Data information,<\/strong> such as the verified email\r\naddress of the future guest, their nationality, age, native language, GDPR\r\nstatus, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This basic data<\/strong>, which is vital from a marketing perspective, is\r\noften collected at check-in or check-out<\/strong>. However, this process can be\r\ninconvenient for several reasons: <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
