Our Hospitality Brokers Break Down Same-Day Booking

Ideally, your rooms are always booked and no one ever cancels. That’s the dream of every hotel owner – but, unfortunately, that’s not quite realistic. There are some ways to offset lost profits like room cancellations, and same-day booking is one of these ways. But how do you drive same-day booking? What’s so great about it? Today, the hospitality brokers from Southeast International delve further into same-day booking and why you should care about it.

What is Same Day Booking?

People are constantly on the move today. Technology has allowed business to move at an accelerated rate, no matter the industry. In the past, booking your hotel well in advance was a necessity, but that’s not how the business world works anymore. Last minute things happen, and hotels need a way to accommodate this. Thus, online travel agencies began to offer same-day booking. This allows consumers to easily and seamlessly book a hotel on the very same day that they plan on staying there.  This is great for the consumer, but it’s also great for hotel owners.

Why Should I Care?

As travelers needs have evolved, it’s wise for hotel owners to keep up with these needs. Same-day booking is one of the best solutions our hospitality brokers have seen to meeting these fast-paced, spontaneous needs. Same-day booking has also really opened the doors for hotels to increase their revenue by quite a bit. Same day booking lets you easily fill rooms that may have been canceled, or vacant rooms that you didn’t think would be booked on that day. In short, it’s a win-win for everyone. Guests get to stay at a decent hotel for a reasonable rate at the last minute, and hotels get to bring in more guests than they would have previously. Same-day booking through these online travel agencies greatly increases your efficiency and your bottom line. If it’s not something that you’ve already implemented, our hospitality brokers recommend looking into incorporating it into your strategy.
