Tourism activity has accelerated in summer to a growth of +17.3% compared to 2019, compared to the +16.7% with which it closed the second quarter. This is according to the Summer Tourism Business Valuation Report (IIITr) 2023 and Outlook for IVTr and closing 2023 , prepared by the association for tourism excellence, Exceltur.

The integration of a hotel with sales channels is a crucial part of your strategy. Getting this integration right will increase your visibility, facilitate future booking management and allow you to correctly apply your pricing policy and the work of your revenue manager.

The new proposal from the TecnoHotel team led by the tireless David Val is intelligent and simple. Hoteliers cannot always travel to attend congresses, they are not always organised nearby and this means that many of them miss the opportunity to have contact with professionals and technology companies with which to improve their business.

Cancellations have always been a problem for the industry, a problem that reached an all-time high during the last pandemic. It is for this reason that protecting against cancellations in the direct sales channel remains key for a hotel. And this is precisely what makes FlexMyRoom, without a doubt, the perfect partner to reduce the historical problem of hotel cancellations, among others.

Following our philosophy of adding technologies that can benefit our customers, we have recently added a new RMS to our list of integrations.

TecnoHotel is outdoing itself again. The idea is simple: "Learn about hotel management, revenue, sales, management tools and more, in a single morning". Lectures, round tables and networking concentrated in a single morning, travelling around different cities in Spain.

In this third issue we talk about consolidation after a 2022 of growth and hard work. In FOCUS, GuestPro from the inside we focus on us, on the work we are doing and on the clients we are adding to our project.

GuestPro is even more secure thanks to the new procedures implemented to prevent phishing attacks that are affecting the industry.

Phishing is a hacking technique that consists of impersonating a company by sending emails requesting personal and banking information to the user. Currently, we are finding that this practice is affecting many hotels that are having their email passwords stolen to gain access to the details of their customers who receive emails requesting payment for their bookings or part of them through fraudulent links.

Since Airbnb has been accepting professional accommodations, more and more people have decided to use it as a sales channel. Above all boutique, luxury or charming hotels and flat accommodation, but also B&Bs, aparthotels, hostels and all kinds of companies in the hospitality sector are betting on this platform that connects them with a travelling public, eager for experiences and accustomed to the use of technology.
