Results of a new distribution study in the hospitality sector: One out of seven hotel bookings in Switzerland made on Priceline’s booking.com in 2012
Online distribution is becoming increasingly important for the hotel industry in Switzerland. On average, today in Switzerland already 30% of bookings are generated electronically in real-time through online booking agencies (OTA), hotel websites, global reservation systems (GDS), central reservation systems (CRS) of hotel chains, hotel cooperation and social media platforms. This represents an estimated turnover of over 1.1 billion francs. These are some of the results of a joint survey by the Swiss Hotel Association (www.hotelleriesuisse.ch) in collaboration with the Institute for Tourism of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland Valais (HES-SO Valais) in Sierre (www.hevs.ch).
According to the study which was conducted between December 2012 and January 2013 and based on the responses of over 200 hotels in Switzerland, online travel agencies (OTA) reached a market share of 20.9% in 2012, an increase of 5% compared to 2011. They have multiplied their market shares in the last five years. Meanwhile, both traditional direct sales and sales generated by tourism partners (e.g. travel agencies, tourism organizations) have constantly declined. In 2012, only 62% of the bookings in Switzerland were generated via direct sales channels, against 75% in previous years.
Booking.com is the most frequently used OTA in Switzerland. According to our data, its market share among OTA increased from 53% to 67%. The absolute market share (with respect to all channels) of booking.com is 14.8%, meaning that every seventh booking in the Swiss hospitality sector is generated by this player. Hotel Reservation System (HRS), GHIX and Expedia are other important players in this domain.
The total amount of commissions paid to intermediaries by Swiss hotels add up to estimated 194 million francs of which 124 million francs were spent for commission payments to online channels. OTAs represent the largest part with an estimated 104 million francs.
Approximately 40% of the questioned hoteliers used mobile sales channels in in 2012 compared to about one-third in 2011. Companies active in mobile distribution used websites adapted to mobile internet more often as opposed to specific apps.

The document discusses several key aspects of moving ecommerce websites global, including supporting multiple languages, localizing content and design elements for different regions, and maintaining a consistent global brand identity while catering to local audiences. It notes Google supports over 100 languages and Wikipedia has content in over 250 languages. For websites to reach 80% of internet users, supporting at least 10 languages is important. Localization requires adapting elements like search engines, promotions, icons and photos for each market. Global navigation must allow users to find their local website in their own language. Consistency in global design templates makes internal management easier while still supporting local needs. The challenges of going global include infrastructure, geographic distances, linguistic differences, varying user demographics and behaviors,

How To Build And Launch A Successful Globalized App From Day One Or All The ...agileware
Significant compromises are often made taking a product to market that cause downstream pain—success can mean endless hours re-architecting and retrofitting to go global, get past 508 compliance at universities or integrate partners. The good news is there are freely available technologies and strategies to avoid the pain. Learn from Zimbra’s experiences with ZCS and Zimbra Desktop (an offline-capable AJAX email application) including a checklist of do’s and don’ts and a deep dive into: i18n and l10n, 508 compliance (Americans with Disabilities Act), skinning, templates, time-date formatting and more.

PhoneGap allows developers to build cross-platform mobile apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It bridges web apps and mobile devices by wrapping web content in a native container. Developers can leverage the skills they already have to build apps that work across platforms without having to learn multiple languages. The process involves using web technologies and PhoneGap tools to build the app, then deploying it to different mobile platforms.
Apache Cordova allows developers to use web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to develop mobile applications that can be deployed across multiple platforms. It provides a boilerplate native container application with a web view interface to access device functionality through plugins. Many large companies and organizations use Cordova due to its ability to quickly release apps on Android, iOS, Windows Phone and other platforms while reusing most of the codebase. While it has advantages, Cordova apps also face challenges from differing device behaviors and platform expectations.
Comparing multi-platform mobile apps frameworksAmandine Tihon
Native apps provide the best performance and user experience but are very expensive to develop for multiple platforms. HTML5 apps are cheaper but have poorer performance and limited capabilities. Hybrid apps bridge the gaps by using web technologies for most of the app but allowing access to native features, providing higher performance than HTML5 alone while maintaining cross-platform capabilities at a lower cost than native development. By 2016, most apps are expected to take a hybrid approach combining native and web features.

4. Languages
• respect the browser setting
• manual setting, as fallback
• be language agnostic in design
• german is good for evaluating
your design
5. Countries
• mobile but not global
• mockup data views early
• inspect the data from the APIs
you need, not the API docs!
• check if the web services you
need supports many countries.
• use a statement to validate your
design, for example:
“I’m visiting Berlin for the weekend but I need to book a
restaurant in London for the following week.“
6. Locale
• locale is neither language or country
• identify all attributes in your wireframes
• once fixed, its hard to change
