In this ever changing and challenging world, hotels need every tool available to gain or maintain market share.
This is the reason why all major hotel brands, travel suppliers and OTAs have mobile Internet initiatives in place.
The hotels that are first to add a mobile micro-site, that is easy to read and navigate from a mobile phone, will stand to gain significant revenue through today’s fastest growing purchasing tool…the mobile phone.
Plain and simple…If you don't have a mobile presence for your hotel, you are losing ground to your competition…
With every passing moment, more people are using their iPhones, BlackBerries, smartphones, and cell phones to research travel, contact hotels, and book accommodations:
A recent report by PhoCusWright projects mobile bookings to reach $160 million in 2010 alone.
Sixty-seven percent of travelers and 77% of frequent business travelers with Web-enabled mobile devices have already used their devices to find local services (e.g. lodging) and attractions.
A poll by Harris Interactive, conducted April-May 2009, shows that 71% of US adults felt that it was safe to make a purchase via a mobile phone. Forty-three percent of respondents are willing to purchase hotel rooms and 40% tickets for travel via their mobile devices.
