Success in Direct Bookings Necessary for Independent Hotel Survival
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 11/04/15 -- Independent properties vary widely in terms of their size, structure and resources. They are in the minority in the U.S., but dominate the European hospitality market. Travel industry research authority -- in partnership with h2c -- undertook an extensive study of the marketplace in six major markets: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the U.K. and the U.S.
In Europe, independents control an estimated 67% of room supply, whereas in the U.S., independents control only about 30% of rooms, according to Phocuswright and h2c''s Independent Lodging Market: Marketing, Distribution and Technology Strategies for Non-Branded Properties.
Despite their differences in room supply, they share some distribution difficulties. Independent properties in these markets consider direct web to be their most important channel, but are more reliant on intermediaries for their online bookings than are chains.
Independents in Europe and the U.S. are also concerned with the increasing cost of third-party reservations, but many lack the tools and resources to make effective pricing and distribution decisions.
Bound by the common desire to remain independent, most lack the tools, resources and expertise to make strategic decisions and compete effectively with chains. How they adopt and implement technology solutions -- and manage multiple channels -- will determine how and if they continue to prosper.
Phocuswright and h2c''s establishes the size of the independent lodging market, both in terms of online room revenue as well as share of the total lodging segment in each market. The report delves into these properties'' channel distribution and how they use intermediaries, engage in marketing and promotion, allocate marketing resources, and much more.
