<a href="https://www.stayntouch.com/">StayNTouch</a>, <a href="https://admin.travelboommarketing.com/">Fuel</a>, and<a href="https://www.reviewpro.com/"> ReviewPro</a> have partnered to release the COVID-19 Hotelier Sentiment Study. The study surveyed almost 500 hoteliers to discover how COVID-19 has impacted their business, the actions they’ve taken to mitigate the financial impact, and their sentiments about future travel and the road to recovery. The study segmented respondents based on geography, independent or branded status, number of properties and job title, and sought to identify ways that hoteliers can capitalize on new opportunities presented in the “new normal” of hospitality post-COVID. “There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the hospitality industry especially hard,” said Stuart Butler, COO of Fuel, “but our industry has always been innovative and resilient. Many of the hoteliers we surveyed have already taken steps to respond to the enhanced health and hygiene concerns of returning travelers.” Specific findings from the survey include:
<ul>
<li>Approximately half of the hoteliers surveyed plan on reopening with 25-50% fewer staff members than they had before the pandemic hit.</li>
<li>Only 41% of respondents believe that their business will fully recover in occupancy and RevPar within a year. 58% of respondents say that they are either “confident” or “very confident” in their businesses’ eventual recovery.</li>
<li>Over 70% of hoteliers are actively planning for recovery, with business recovery plans ranging from pure cost-cutting to enhancing SOP and hygiene, to reappraising their sales and marketing strategies, to some combination of the above.</li>
<li>Approximately half of our respondents said they plan to invest in mobile technology or some form of guest messaging post-recovery.</li>
</ul>
“We see that hoteliers are considering a range of strategies to better position their properties for the new expectations and demands of travelers post-pandemic; including enhanced hygiene policies and contactless guest touchpoints via technology”, said Nicole Dehler, VP of Product Development at StayNTouch. Micheal Kessler, CEO of ReviewPro said “This pandemic has changed both guest and hoteliers’ technology requirements. By leveraging contactless mobile communication at all stages of the guest journey, hoteliers can continue to create great guest experiences while looking after staff and guest safety.” To download the full and comprehensive COVID-19 Hotelier Sentiment Study, please visit <a href="https://admin.travelboommarketing.com/2020-covid-19-hotelier-sentiment-study/">this web page.</a>

The list, which will be updated daily, consists of a comprehensive collection of blog articles, webinars, videos, podcasts, and more, all of which will be categorized and sorted based on a variety of considerations and elements.

Fuel Launches ‘Crisis Management Resources for Hotels’ Master List to Help Hoteliers Navigate the Coronavirus Pandemic and Other Adverse Market Conditions

<div class="artteaser" style="text-align: center;">Cash back rewards innovator The Guestbook and hospitality digital solutions provider Fuel provide insight and tips for hoteliers who must balance short-term impacts and long-term prosperity.</div>
Myrtle Beach, SC &#8211;<a title="https://hoteliers.theguestbook.com/" href="https://hoteliers.theguestbook.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> The Guestbook</a>, the world&#8217;s largest rewards program for independent and boutique hotels, and&nbsp;<a href="https://admin.travelboommarketing.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;utm_medium=pr&amp;utm_campaign=TGB_Troubled_Times_PR" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fuel</a>, the premier software provider and digital agency for the hotel industry, have partnered to release a new white paper addressing the economic challenges facing hoteliers in the coming months and how to weather them. Titled &#8220;Navigating Troubled Times,&#8221; the informational white paper explores key strategies that hotels can use to stay focused on what matters and avoid common pitfalls during strained economic periods. Hoteliers have many reasons to feel uneasy about the future. A tumultuous election year compounded by a rapidly developing health crisis and fears of an economic recession are understandably fueling their anxieties. Daily event and flight cancellations are making the matter worse, and a lack of concrete, actionable information is leading consumers and business owners to make critical decisions based on limited visibility. With this in mind, The Guestbook and Fuel combined feedback from guest surveys with expert insight from the hospitality industry&#8217;s leading digital marketing and guest loyalty professionals to create a guide for hoteliers who must make key decisions about their future. &#8220;When facing the unexpected, the best option is always to start with proven strategies and tweak them based on the best available information at hand,&#8221; said James Gancos, CEO and Founder of The Guestbook. &#8220;That is why we put together recommendations using insight from experts across the industry who have successfully navigated challenging times before. Furthermore, many of the strategies we talk about in this report can be used after the market returns to normalcy in order to reduce hoteliers&#8217; reliance on OTAs and plan for future periods of economic hardship.&#8221; Topics covered in the white paper include:
<ul>
<li>How to present guests with added value when times are tough</li>
<li>Why hotels should diversify guest traffic sources</li>
<li>How to activate the local market to fill gaps in business</li>
<li>How to leverage periods of low guest traffic to make hotel improvements</li>
<li>Why business owners should hesitate to cut advertising</li>
<li>And more</li>
</ul>

“Fueligans” Hit the Airwaves for 100th Episode of  Fuel Hotel Marketing Podcast with Live AMA

Orlando, FL — July 19, 2018 — <a href="https://admin.travelboommarketing.com">Fuel Travel</a>, <a href="https://www.stayntouch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">StayNTouch</a>, and <a href="https://www.flip.to/?utm_source=fuel&amp;utm_medium=partner&amp;utm_campaign=2018techsurvey" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Flip.to</a> have partnered to launch a new study that examines perspectives from hoteliers and suppliers on industry technology. First debuted exclusively for attendees of the HITEC Hospitality Technology Show in June, the results are now being distributed globally. The study surveyed hoteliers and suppliers to learn how the industry can improve from a technology perspective, with key takeaways for readers from both groups:
<ul>
<li>For hospitality decision-makers, the results provide guidance on the latest technology trends, as well as opportunities to invest valuable resources for growth.</li>
<li>For suppliers, the study informs ideas on the most pressing technology issues facing the hotel industry today.</li>
</ul>
With data surveyed from 358 respondents—all responsible for purchasing or selling technology in hospitality—the study is unique from other research in that it goes beyond standard reporting to identify similarities and differences in priorities for where the industry and travel technology should be headed. Overall, the results showed many positive indicators that hoteliers and suppliers are closely aligned. Take, for instance, considerations for a new PMS. The factors which were “most important” for respondents from both groups fell in sync, with ease of use and seamless integration topping the list. In fact, the need for improved integration between existing products garnered a strong consensus from respondents. Guest experience was also a top priority. Frewoini Golla, Director of Marketing for StayNTouch noted why findings like this are so critical for industry growth. “Better understanding where priorities lie helps vendors stay in tune with the challenges our customers are responsible for, and how we can serve their needs while topping their goals.” Other areas where the study reported similarities and differences include factors influencing marketing spend, perspectives on new and emerging technology, and the process for considering new technology purchases. Stuart Butler, Chief Operating Officer of Fuel Travel said of the results, “As vendors of this space, our eyes are fixed on the trajectory of travel technology and marketing, so having a better understanding of the wants and needs of those in the front-lines of hospitality really helps us all get better together.” Richard Dunbar, Director of Partnerships at Flip.to echoed this sentiment. “It’s really important that we focus on helping our customers and all of the industry move the needle. The results of this survey have opened up a really compelling dialogue to grow the industry, today.”
