The first half of 2024 has been nothing short of remarkable for our Realtime Reservation clients. Leveraging our advanced tools and solutions, these hotels have experienced significant growth and recovery, standing out in a competitive market. Here’s a look at the top-performing areas and how potential clients can replicate this success using RealTime Reservation’s RTR One platform.

Day Passes: The Star Performer

Day passes have emerged as a game-changer, capturing the essence of modern travel preferences. With guests increasingly seeking flexible, short-term access to premium hotel amenities, day passes have seen a remarkable surge in popularity. This trend highlights a shift towards more experiential and accessible luxury, allowing guests to enjoy the best of what hotels offer without committing to an overnight stay. In fact, day passes saw a staggering 95% increase in revenue and a 98% rise in bookings in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023.

How to Leverage This Trend:

  1. Flexible Pricing Models: Use Realtime Reservation’s dynamic pricing tools to offer attractive day pass rates during peak and off-peak hours.
  2. Enhanced Marketing: Promote day passes through targeted marketing campaigns, highlighting the convenience and luxury of short-term access.
  3. Bundled Offers: Create bundled packages that include day passes with spa treatments or dining credits to enhance value and attract more guests.

Activity Bookings: A Strong Contender

Activities within hotels have also seen a notable uptick. Guests are eager to engage in diverse experiences, from wellness sessions to adventure outings. This surge in activity bookings underscores a renewed enthusiasm for leisure and exploration, reflecting a broader trend of travelers seeking enriching, memorable experiences during their stays. Activity bookings experienced a 77% increase, driving a 43% rise in revenue in Q2 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Amenity Orders: Consistent Growth

Amenities continue to play a crucial role in enhancing guest satisfaction. From spa treatments to special room services, the demand for added comforts has consistently grown. This trend speaks to the increasing desire for personalized and convenient luxury, with guests willing to invest in premium services that enhance their overall stay experience. Amenity orders saw a 72% increase in bookings and a 46% rise in revenue in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023.

How to Leverage This Trend:

  1. Customized Packages: Create customized amenity packages that guests can book through the Realtime Reservation platform.
  2. Upselling Opportunities: Use the platform’s upselling tools to suggest additional amenities during the booking process or at check-in.
