Distinctive Concept Hotels is a group specialising in the management and marketing of independent hotels located in Mexico’s most iconic destinations, such as Playa del Carmen, Cancún, Tulum, Holbox, and Cozumel. With a portfolio of 18 properties, including Cyan Cancún Resort, Antera Hotel & Residences, Grupo Ahau Collection, and Playa Azul Cozumel.

Why it matters: However, manually managing rates and availability posed a major challenge. The team was spending over 20 hours a week updating channels, risking errors that negatively affect revenue outcomes.
