New Technology Can Convert Any Hotel Into an Extended-Stay Offering
2024年5月23日 - 10:02PM
Yovivo today released a feature that allows any
hotel property to offer extended stays, if they wish to do
so.
The extended stay trend is growing as remote work increases in
popularity, and figures suggest the trajectory is going to
continue. Whilst private residence bookings such as those offered
on AirBnB have not shown any slowing in bookings, hotel brands are
now branching out into the extended stay niche, offering facilities
that apartment and villa rentals generally do not provide.
“The hotel market has to adjust, but not all brands have the
ability, time or budget to adapt to consumers’ inclination towards
longer trips,” says Karen Kochmann, Head of Product at Yovivo.
“Remote work is quickly reshaping the travel industry, and many
properties are struggling to keep up. Yovivo’s technology can
help.”
Yovivo may have the solution for hotels that wish to offer
extended stays but have not yet adapted their systems accordingly.
Yovivo is a hotel booking platform specializing in extended stays
of one month or longer.
Yovivo released its latest feature today, whereby travelers can
request a booking from over 350,000 hotels on the platform that
falls outside of their usual parameters. The “under request”
booking feature means that travelers can request to stay at any
property on the Yovivo platform for a month or longer, regardless
of whether the property ordinarily offers extended stays.
In the past, travelers would have to contact the property
directly, locate a manager, and attempt to negotiate a longer stay
for a discount. With Yovivo, travelers need only make a request on
the platform, and the hotel will receive the details directly. The
hotel can then decide whether to accept the request, decline it or
offer a modified reservation.
“Existing channel managers are generally designed for short
stays,” says Tech Lead, Derek Robins. “Yovivo displays properties
with automatic inventory and without. If the user chooses a
property without an extended stay, the system sends a request to
the hotel’s intranet.”
Not all properties on the Yovivo platform necessarily wish to
offer extended stays, but the release of this piece of technology
gives them the option, both now and in the future.
About YovivoYovivo consists of passionate expats, whom
have lived in more than 15 countries, travel professionals and
developers. Currently based on Mallorca, an international
hospitality hub, it became evident that hotels are adapting their
products with extended-stay bookings to become more economically
sustainable, not only in their business growth but also in response
to the growing trend of remote workers and digital nomads.
Historically these nomads were mainly using private home rentals,
but recent trends have shifted towards hotel accommodation. The
idea was to create a platform dedicated to global hotel bookings to
answer the demand for extended-stay accommodation at reasonable
rates. Press ContactKeren
