Tool represents the industry's continual shift toward holistic business strategies.
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach
- 10 JANUARY 2018 - Metasearch
within the hospitality industry has grown to become a mandatory channel in the
hotel guests' booking journey. It is also an essential advertising channel for
hotels outpacing even AdWords. As a result of this, FASTBOOKING realised that
the hospitality industry required a tool to simplify and standardise
connectivity as well as bid management on metasearch.
With this in mind,
FASTBOOKING launched MetaGenius, a tool to simplify
hotel's connectivity to metasearch and to improve hotel's metasearch campaign
management efficiency. With MetaGenius, hoteliers can use the
tool to increase their direct sales on Metasearch in a cost-effective manner.
"To manage revenue
intake, hotels have to continuously experiment with different digital channels
to find their perfect profitability balance. With the right tool on hand,
hotels can adjust the bidding prices to optimise the big-picture results and
would be able to create their presence on Metasearch and not leave OTAs to be
its sole representative on this channel," expressed Pierre-Charles Grob,
FASTBOOKING's Managing Director for Asia.
MetaGenius is a multi-metasearch management platform
designed for hoteliers to take control of their advertising positioning,
campaign efficiency and return on investment. It is a one-stop-shop connecting
to worldwide metasearch channels including Google Hotel Ads, Trivago,
Tripadvisor, Kayak, HotelsCombined and Opendoor. Skyscanner will soon be added
to the platform. Hotels can leverage on this platform as it is compatible with
any Booking Engine or CRS.
