STRATEGIC SALES & MARKETING

We can't change facts but can manage them.

Customers
• Only 30% of leisure travellers are considered frequent with 4 or
5 trips a year.
• Leisure travellers usually don't return to same destination making them mostly one time customers.
• Customers book flights first and later for hotels and other destination products.
• Customers want convenience, accuracy, instant and reliability.
• More leisure individual travllers plan travel later.
Hotels
-
Hotel rooms and F&B seats remain highly perishable products.
-
Direct sales have highest yield but also at highest acquisition cost.
-
Hotels spend much resources to qualify and acquire new customers.
-
Returns on hotels' websites cannot justify the spend.
-
Shorter booking lead times increase uncertainty.
-
Customers more loyal to third party channels.
-
Downstream activities are difficult to control.
-
Disconnect between online revenue and B2B sales teams on priorities and business principles.
