This development creates some new needs, regarding the presentation on these channels. New trends prove that hotels are trying to be presented from many possible aspects, within OTAS, causing the traveler’s interest to visit the hotel’s website when they want to make a reservation.
So lately, we encounter even more integrated OTAs Hotel profiles, presented through photographs of their spa, restaurants and even dishes served, giving a new perspective to the OTAs that enhance the digital marketing of hotel.
What the hotelier should do:
- Be true to the description and information are given on the restaurants or any other facilities that will attract the traveler’s interest.
- Upload photos of restaurants and Spas that will give the travelers a complete picture of their hotel experience.
- To constantly update the hotel’s facilities, in order to appear in more searches.
