Tradi4onal drivers of hotel business is no longer reliable In the current economic climate, the hotel industry cannot rely on tradi-onal drivers of business growth, and raising prices may mean travellers just book elsewhere. ·∙There are so many hotels, resorts, and spas in China, even though in the high-‐end segment, compe--on becomes very fierce. ·∙Online penetra-on rate has been growing drama-cally in the past few years and will go on. 221.57 309.27 432.63 542.09 654.49 772.05 913.44 7.5% 9.2% 10.8% 12.0% 12.9% 13.9% 14.7% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% 14.0% 16.0% 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 2013 2014 2015e 2016e 2017e 2018e 2019e online penetra4on rate has been growing drama4cally online GMV(billions) online penetra-on rate Source: iResearch
Digital marke4ng adap4on is the key to the challenge ·∙Brands, hotel owners and operators that are able to capitalise on social media, mobile, analy-cs and cloud (SMAC) – and put customer experience at the heart of everything they do – can gain significant compe--ve advantage in the longer run. ·∙Around 24 million people in the UK (1/3 of the popula-on) check into Social plaborm(in China, it is like the same) every day and 82% of them do so on mobiles or tablets. And 63% of genera-on X travellers and a third of baby boomers share a daily status update while on holiday. ·∙Those consumers – through interac-ng with the brands, pos-ng images, checking in and recommending to their friends – can become powerful ambassadors for the hotel they visit, even if they do not themselves become loyal to that brand or loca-on. Each instance in which your customer interacts with your brand on their social network is another opportunity for you to win new customers, and to increase loyalty and ul-mately share of wallet from your current customers.
