How to push direct bookings on our website and become more independent from OTA´s.
Why it matters: Because independent smaller hotel groups need to make the most out of each reservation
  • The module Website Connect is part of dailypoint which offers hotels basically the same functionalities used by international Online Travel Agents to track and identify visitors on their own website.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The Platzl hotels are a privately owned and managed traditional hotel group in the city center of Munich, surrounded by international hotels
  • Guests use indirect channels: This leads to an increase in commissions

  • More direct bookings: Make the most out of a website and SEO activities

  • Store guest data centrally: Have all guest information in-house in one clean database and use it for personalized guest communication.
