Expert Q&A and Partner Recommendations

Submit Recommendation
Question:

What does this product or service do well?

Answer:

Tourism in Cyprus depends heavily on tours and activities. Although some boutique hotels and vacation rentals have returned to business after the pandemic, tours have completely stopped. Therefore, Cyprus has been hit by the pandemic really badly. At this point, HotelRunner played a lifesaving role. During this period, we started digitizing our properties by bringing them together with HotelRunner's world-class technology and worldwide network. By joining many local and global sales channels via HotelRunner, hotels ranging from small hotels up to big resorts have built their online presence and begun to accept guests from all over the world

Question:

What differentiates this product or service from the competition?

Answer:

Their products and services give our partner properties the opportunity to meet their maximum potential by connecting to both local and global channels. This not only helps them capture guests from their local market but all over the world. Having the right channels is the key to worldwide distribution and HotelRunner offers this opportunity with its 150+ travel partners.

Question:

Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?

Answer:

I would advise each property to benefit HotelRunner’s channel manager product while also using the booking engine. This will not only help capture guests from different online platforms but will also enable hoteliers to get reservations directly from their website. Using both these features will maximize your opportunity for profits.
