3. Hotels, Vacation Rentals and Travel Technology
The hospitality industry has endured many challenges in the last decade, and in the process has
reinvented itself. Although the main product offered at hotels has remained the same – after
all, how much can a room and a bed change? – everything on an operational level has
undergone significant changes over the decade, and especially over the past few years.
Boutique and independent properties are gaining market share over the big-brand chains that
used to rule the industry. The booking window is shrinking, with more customers booking
on-the-go, in-flight or even while standing outside the hotel. The way that consumers are
booking is also changing. Telephone and travel agent reservations are dwindling and replaced
by the quick, easy, and affordable online channel, which is available to consumers worldwide
24/7. Another big change in how consumers are booking is the growth of the mobile channel,
allowing customers access to mobile booking websites from anywhere, at anytime.
With each new change, the internal processes of a hotel need to adapt in order to remain
successful. GDS, RMS, CRM, ADR, POS, OTAs… new technologies are emerging every day
that revolutionize the job of a hotelier, a revenue manager, a reservations agent, or
a hospitality marketer.
TravelInk’d understands the ever-shifting permutations of the lodging and travel technology industries, and we never lose sight of the ultimate goal -

you make the most money doing it. We leverage our years of experience in this
