September 12, 2023— The rising need for hotels to generate more revenue-enhancing opportunities that go beyond guest rooms has contributed to demand for a central reservations system (CRS) and booking engine that is simple, intuitive, and has the power to personalize guest experiences.
Today, Amadeus is proud to introduce iHotelier StayPlus™ – an innovative set of capabilities that empower hoteliers to create curated guest experiences and manage promotions all in one easy-to-use place. By aligning marketing and revenue strategies, StayPlus helps improve the hotel shopping experience, increase direct conversion rates, and drive higher revenue per booking through a strategic set of integrated capabilities spanning four key categories:
- Experiential Stay Builder: Hoteliers can identify audience type by reviewing various guest demographics and then customizing the experience with a tailored booking flow, compelling upselling, experiential stays, and added value offers. Using creative merchandising, the hotel can increase revenue opportunities by presenting new offers built with optimized pricing strategies such as percent off, flat fee, or one night free.
- Dynamic Offers: Hoteliers can create tailored promotions based on set criteria such as demand and time of year. Using customized audience messaging and call outs, hoteliers can increase visibility, while creating a sense of urgency with banner ads, countdown timers, and more. Flexibility to configure taxes and policies also work to enhance the hotel’s revenue strategy.
