We are undergoing a tectonic shift in hospitality. For many hotel operators, this shift hasn't been easy. Closures and restrictions have impacted more than 75% of hotel operations in the U.S.. Occupancy rates and ADR have plummeted and almost every operator has suffered a reduction in revenue and profit. But there is opportunity in this massive shift.
Your best opportunity to increase occupancy and ADR is to maximize your impact in digital channels. Our RESETROADMAP can deliver a digital strategy and plan that will drive results in as little as 8-10 weeks.
