To move forward, IATA said it is working on a new distribution capability (NDC) that will bring the industry up-to-date with online retailers and revolutionize distribution.

the GDS model is too clunky to adapt easily to the emergence of trends such as fare unbundling and merchandizing,” said Tyler.

As a hotel maintenance manager, you should always be on the lookout for any glitches that can lower customer satisfaction levels.

Efficient management of assets is only possible if you understand precisely the layout of the hotel in terms of the location of your equipment.

One of the major pitfalls in the hospitality industry is delays in responding to work orders.

ew and emerging technologies often impact the value of existing models and services

which leads to many companies re-evaluating and transforming.

‘technology that displaces an established technology and shakes up the industry or creates a completely new industry’.

A new tech platform launched earlier this week can make the matchmaking process easier between lodging operators and local emergency efforts. Owners of a property can make beds or buildings available by using an online form to specify how they’re willing to help. Cloudbeds has worked with Sabre, Marriott, and RateGain and others on the effort.

A new reservations portal provides accommodation to healthcare workers at no cost in Lisbon and Porto, Portugal. It’s called Rooms Against Covid, and GuestCentric Systems and HiJiffy created it.

How can hoteliers ensure that their property provides as secure an environment as possible, while maintaining friendly customer service? 

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”

A single act of crime on your property could diminish your brand.

The answer is you’ll need the advantage your competitors and travel agents have – a Global Distribution System (GDS). More than 600,000 travel agents plug into a GDS every day to book flights, hotels, car rentals and destination activities.

“It seems that every week there’s a new channel or emerging trend for hotel operators to keep up with, and decide whether there is a real opportunity or if these are just distractions.” He adds, however, that a GDS is “definitely a significant opportunity” for hotels.

If you want to be visible and bookable … your hotel needs to be on those supermarket shelves whenever and wherever your guests go shopping for a hotel booking,”

Safety and security are important factors in guests’ selection of a hotel.

The findings reveal that guests perceive “well-equipped fire prevention systems in accordance with local regulations”, “an emergency plan”, “an emergency lighting system”, “a 24-h uniformed security guard” and “the regular testing of hotel safety and security systems” to be the top five in-house safety and security systems, whereas hotel managers perceive “closed-circuit television systems for hotel public areas”, “emergency lighting systems” and “application of a guest key to activate the lifts to guest floors” to be the third through fifth most important.

indicating that managers may require a better understanding of guest expectations.

Over the past several decades, hoteliers have turned their focus to the importance of sustainability in the hospitality industry as it relates to hotel development and operations, including the environmental, economic and social impact.

In fact, according to Cornell University’s Center for Hospitality Research, the reverse is true for both. Recent advances in technology related to renewable sources of energy (solar, geothermal, wind, etc.) have improved the economics of using these kinds of alternative energies at the property level.

Cost is always a driving factor and reducing operating costs provides a compelling incentive for hoteliers. Cost reduction and efficiency strategies can be achieved by investing in better operational procedures and emerging environmental technologies. Many hoteliers now employ a variety of strategies to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste. Other emerging areas include sustainable procurement, indoor environmental quality (focusing on air quality and chemical/cleaning product use), and staff training programs (which can facilitate improved performance and higher levels of employee satisfaction/retention).

To achieve that balance, a hospitality professional must understand this most important audience, beginning with two fundamental objectives:

Create an excellent event: This includes making registration easy, managing the event properly, and creating a unique experience. Remember, attendees are spending valuable time and money to participate – make it memorable so they want to come back the next time.

Achieve the company’s business goal: Perhaps the point of the event is to train employees, or network around emerging trends. Maybe it’s a regional get-together designed to rally the sales troops for the next quarter.

The major search sites routinely leave out flights (lots of them) and even entire airlines. A lot of the flights they do show are ones you don’t want, starting with “basic economy” fares that hit you with tons of restrictions and fees, so the price you see isn’t the one you end up paying, along with connections way too short or way too long, ones that no responsible travel agent would let you book.

The reality is that while it was widely predicted that the internet was going to kill off travel agents when digital tools were placed at every traveler’s disposal, that just hasn’t happened, for several good reasons.

“They can find crazy deals”; “They will be your advocate”; “They’ll take care of the little things”; “They’re true experts” and “They don’t usually cost extra.”
