Market Size By Type

Impact of covid-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has kept people around the world quarantined in their homes for most of 2020. Governments have put restrictions on movements and banned travel all over the globe to curb the spread of the disease. Undoubtedly, this has caused people to want to escape from isolation and enjoy life like before.

Governments also seem to lift bans and ease travel restrictions in the second half of 2020due to the declining GDPs and disrupted large and small businesses. As people begin to travel again, the hotel industry can expect to see a drastic growth curve in bookings during this period, which has been impacted in terms of both revenue and employment rates earlier this year

Growing Demand for Optimized Guest Experience Management

Against the backdrop of changing lifestyles, customers are keen on brand performance and comparing it with others to meet their expectations. Online visitors have access to an array of tech tools that allow them to get exactly what they want. It is of utmost importance for hotel managers and booking software providers to get feedback about customer experience.

Each interaction leaves a lasting impression forming an opinion about hospitality. Therefore, there is a growing demand for optimizing the customer experience and prioritizing customer service and satisfaction at every touchpoint. Growing guest demand is driving the focus on the dynamics of value creation and delivering experiences that are simple, immediate, and personalized. Big hotel chain companies like Ritz-Carlton are known to deliver engaging guest experiences beyond features, products, and processes.

Attractive Revenue Growth and Low Operational Costs

The flourishing travel and tourism industry is significantly driving the online hotel booking and reservation software market. Key players are focusing on the on-demand deployment model, also referred to as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), to deploy their software and services in a virtual environment. This approach reduces the cost associated with purchasing, servicing, and powering server-class machines.

The subscription model enables scalability with a low cost of ownership. It also ensures the integrity of data back-up, reducing the risk of security breaches.

Integration Complexities

Complex deployment and integration are some of the critical restraining factors affecting the growth of the online hotel booking software market growth. Integrating legacy systems, hotel Property Management System (PMS), an interface between the hotel PMS, and other solutions is a complicated task that involves a high initial cost of deployment. Transferring data between solutions is one of the most recurring queries towards hospitality software providers.

The lack of a skilled workforce to complete the transferring of information from legacy solutions to a newer PMS is hampering the market growth. Thus, many providers are switching to cloud-based property management systems that easily connect to other software solutions, allowing for a data transfer with minimal effort.

Evolving Cloud-Based IoT Platforms

IoT and Cloud Computing have revamped the way businesses operate, introducing high-tech smart rooms in luxury hotels to customers. Therefore, umpteen companies are adopting advancing technologies to design software that meet customer expectation. For instance, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc., an American multinational hospitality company, is developing its own proprietary IoT platform.

Marriott recently entered into a partnership with electrical parts giant, Legrand’s IoT program and Samsung’s ARTIK cloud-based IoT platform, in order to bring model smart rooms in selected hotels. IoT has the potential to benefit hotel groups and help start-ups to gain a competitive edge over tough competitors such as Airbnb and HomeAway.

It will make the hotelier efficient and deliver more value to their guests at lower costs. It will be advantageous in terms of detection of occupancy, personalization, inventory management, maintenance, and cross hotel linkage. In this way, the Internet of Things (IoT) is anticipated to be the future of the hotel industry and the next big thing, along with Artificial Intelligence.
