One of the most frequent questions about our project is why we need another hotel booking service, because there is already Booking.com, Hotels.com, Tui.com and others.
-
Yes, these services exist. And there are dozens of others too. But is it convenient to use them?
-
There are so many problems and disadvantages of existing booking aggregators that it may not be possible to list everything.
-
Although, let's try. And then we will deal with the answer to the very first question.
-
So, the first thing I want to note is flexibility. It just doesn't exist. Some offer booking for an hour, the others for the night.
-
But there is not a single service that would offer a reservation for any period of time. Why? The market needs it.
-
It may sound uncertain, but it's not just our opinion.
-
Analyzing more than 23 million travelers, Asksuite Chatbot experts realized that 56% of travelers request service outside business hours, 40% from 6 pm to midnight.
-
Forgot to introduce myself. My name is Dmitry and I am the CTO and Project Manager of the project.
-
So, let's move on. The next stop is artificial intelligence. What's the point of wasting the potential of machines to turn on the music, voice the weather today and answer other stupid questions?
-
It makes no sense. Voice assistants should be helpful and ours will be able to book hotels. We won't go into too much depth, just imagine that booking a hotel is now 5 times faster.
-
And if after that to speed up the check-in at the hotel? It would be nice...
-
Ha! This is exactly what we plan to do. We just developed the concept of Hotel ID.
-
Sounds scary... No! If some users do not want to be identified, they may not do so. As for the rest, they will speed up their arrival at the hotel by 3-4 times.
-
Having passed the identification on our platform, users will be able to check into the hotel only by the reservation number.
-
What about B2B?
-
Everything is bad. But not with us. We looked and found only a couple of small booking services that offer B2B benefits.
-
We mean that these services at least somehow make it clear to corporate customers that they have not been forgotten about.
-
Usually, everything is limited to the «I travel for work» checkbox. In short, it gives about NOTHING.
-
But what if we make a service where tracking stays of employees, calculating taxes, and booking analytics will be available?
-
And also a bonus program to keep regular corporate customers and make the service even friendlier.
-
Everything indicates that B2B clients are ours ;)
-
You are already on block 23, keep it up!
-
The next no less cool thing is complex bookings. Yes, like complex flights.
-
We are the only service that allows travelers to book places along the way and offer them such options when there are no empty seats in the chosen accommodation.
-
Instead of forcing the guest to choose a route based on the availability of hotels on their own, we do everything for them.
-
We reduce the Bounce Rate
-
If you're waiting for the end, then it's coming soon. It remains to tell everything about the remaining features, I will try to be shorter.
-
We believe that guests need several things (in addition to those that already exist) to properly evaluate the hotel: shooting the hotel from a height, 3D models of rooms, as well as an independent expert assessment of the hotel booking service.
-
Millions of travelers every year face false expectations. Our goal is to reduce their number to zero. We can do it, no doubt.
-
This will be possible thanks to the StatUse Approved hotel verification service.
-
We also want to improve map navigation. Imagine that you no longer need to wander around it - just circled the desired area with the mouse (finger) and look for a hotel in it.
-
We also want to introduce some experimental features. Let's talk about one of them in the end.
-
Did we already mention above that there are experienced guys in the team? So, there are bad experiences. As are the guests.
-
We plan to try to implement guest ratings by hotels. Not anonymous. And we are going to give guests the opportunity to participate in the assessment.
-
Guests with a high rating will receive discounts, and hoteliers will receive guests who do not make noise, do not litter, and generally great.
-
Perhaps this is all we wanted to talk about the features. Now let's get back to the original question.
-
Why do you need another hotel booking service, because there is Booking.com, Hotels.com, Tui.com and others.
-
There are good services. There are popular and very popular services. But they are still not as good as what we will create, and as you already understood, it's not just about design...
-
See you soon!
