COLLECTIVE #hotelierPULSE with Daniella Boeken from Ruby Hotels

Live think-tank for the Hospitality Industry: The techtalk.travel COLLECTIVE #hotelierPULSE live session with special guests Daniella Boeken, Group Vice President Commercial at Ruby Hotels, co-hosted by Pedro Colaco, CEO at Guestcentric and Great Hotels of the World and André Baljeu from techtalk.travel.

We invited you to discuss the recent findings and implications of The Hotelier PULSE with us.

*What are expectations in terms of travel demand for the summer and do you still think there may be a chance that international travel will resume this year? Why?

*Hotel Occupancy expectations in April 2021 are looking better than March 2021, and the CRS data shows that occupancy in April has also outgrown the same period in 2020. Interestingly, City Hotels expect the highest occupancy levels in April. 

Are you experiencing this in your City properties as well, particularly in partially-reopened hubs such as London? Why do you think that is?

*On a more optimistic note, Hoteliers seem less concerned with previously dominant issues that impacted consumer demand, such as Health & Safety concerns, tighter consumer budgets, and flight capacity. As such, Hoteliers continue to prioritize reshaping their marketing strategies to reach new markets and cater for domestic travelers. 

Do you agree with this sentiment?
