Jason Lugo, market vice president for the Americas at SiteMinder, says the findings signal an exciting summer ahead for Canadian properties. “Summer has arrived, and the spike of scheduled international arrivals will bring with it more revenue as well as longer stays and lead times,” says Lugo. “To capitalize on this season, hoteliers would do well to focus on a revenue management strategy that allows them to operate dynamically and ensure speed-to-market. It is always vital, but especially during critical demand periods such as summer, to revisit all aspects of your revenue management strategy, from your pricing to the distribution channels you’re using to target your ideal guests, to the communications you’re sending to upsell guests. Using the right revenue technology is so important in this way.”
SiteMinder’s Hotel Booking Trends - Summer 2024 Edition is based on the booking data of SiteMinder’s platform, which last year processed more than 120 million bookings valued at more than US$50 billion in revenue for its hotels.
