Leveraging Strengths: Different distribution channels play to different strengths of a hotel. 

Online platforms may capitalise on digital marketing and SEO strategies, while direct bookings leverage brand loyalty and personalised customer service. 

By diversifying distribution both online and offline, hotels can leverage their unique strengths across various channels, optimizing each for maximum visibility and revenue generation. This approach ensures that hotels can effectively compete in different market segments and environments.

Accessing New Markets: Expanding distribution channels allows hotels to reach new markets and demographics. 

Each channel may attract different types of travellers with varying preferences and booking behaviours. 

By diversifying distribution, hotels can tap into previously untapped markets, whether it's targeting specific geographical regions, niche traveler segments, or business versus leisure travellers. This diversification opens up opportunities for sustained growth by widening the customer base and capturing new segments of travellers.

Risk Mitigation: Diversifying hotel distribution mitigates the risk associated with relying solely on a single booking channel or platform. 

Depending solely on one platform increases vulnerability to factors like changes in algorithms, commission rates, or unforeseen disruptions. 

By spreading distribution across multiple online channels and offline avenues like direct bookings and partnerships with travel agencies, hotels can reduce this risk and ensure a steadier stream of bookings even if one channel experiences a downturn.

Diving deep into your data… , this week, I will initiate discussions on diverse facets highlighting the significance of data in the hospitality industry. While the adage "garbage in = garbage out" is familiar, it prompts reflection on whether we genuinely comprehend the nature of the data entering our systems in the first instance.

OTA's Advantage in Using Data:

Online travel agencies (OTA's) often excel in leveraging data to win market share due to their sophisticated algorithms and vast customer databases. 

OTA's collect extensive data on traveler preferences, search behaviour, and booking patterns. 

They use advanced analytics to segment customers, personalise recommendations, and optimise pricing strategies in real-time. 

Additionally, OTA's invest heavily in digital marketing and user experience optimisation based on data insights, enhancing their competitiveness in attracting and retaining customers. 

By continuously analysing data and adapting their strategies, OTA's can effectively target potential guests, maximise conversion rates, and maintain a strong presence in the highly competitive hospitality industry.

Accessing & Reporting Data: Accessing and reporting data efficiently is crucial for informed decision-making in hospitality. 

• Property management systems (PMS) and customer relationship management (CRM) software facilitate access to real-time data for hotel staff. 

• These systems generate reports on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as occupancy rates, revenue per available room (RevPAR), and average daily rate (ADR).

• Analytical tools and dashboards allow hotel managers to visualise and interpret data, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions to enhance operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.

Data Structure:

The structure of hospitality data typically includes information about rates, customer segments, nationality, age demographics, accounting details, and room types. This is detrimental in establishing the validity of what you will be analysing in the future.

• Rates data helps hotels optimise pricing strategies based on demand fluctuations and market trends. 

• Customer segmentation allows hotels to target specific demographics with personalised marketing campaigns. 

• Nationality and age demographics provide insights into the hotel's international appeal and guest demographics. 

• Accounting data enables financial analysis and budget planning, while room type data helps manage inventory and optimise room allocations.
