If the latest numbers are any indication, the hospitality industry is beginning to turn the corner. Recent reports show significantly smaller rates of decline, indicating that the economic downturn is beginning to loosen its hold. Most significantly, direct web bookings have increased 8.9% for year to date June, as measured for independent hoteliers worldwide. TravelCLICK, the leader in hotel ecommerce and business intelligence, will host a complimentary webinar titled "Second Quarter 2009 Global Hotel Performance: Preparing Hotels for the Long Road Back" on August 25 and 26. The webinar will reveal second quarter 2009 hotel ecommerce results and future trends based on TravelCLICK’s proprietary eMonitor and eTRAK market performance reports, as well as provide strategy recommendations that can help hotels prepare for what’s next in order to maximize opportunity as we anticipate economic recovery.
The webinar will focus on these topics:
* Comparison of second quarter 2009 and first quarter 2009 results.
* Emerging trends from the past six months of hotel ecommerce performance.
* Requirements for industry recovery.
* Revenue management and electronic marketing best practices to successfully position hotels for recovery such as segmentation strategies targeting day of week travel.
Trends and perspectives will be presented by TravelCLICK’s industry experts John Hach, Vice President, Media & Industry Relations and Kristi White, Director of Revenue Optimization.
