Welcome back to The Accommodation Show, we are officially in Season 14 !

This episode delves into a topic you will find not only interesting but also a great opportunity for improvement: Effective Guest Communication. This has been a topic that I have delved into in the past, but after an industry survey was run by TouchStay, we have some data to back up the assumptions. We get to understand how thoughtful communication with a guest can have a real impact on both guest satisfaction and business profitability.

Guest communication is the backbone of hospitality. Whether you're running a quaint bed and breakfast or a bustling hotel chain, the way you engage with your guests can significantly influence their overall experience and their decisions to spend more, extend their stay, or even return. Tyann joins us to share invaluable insights from a recent study that sheds light on the dos and don'ts of guest interactions. By tuning in, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how strategic communication can transform your guest relations into a powerful tool for business growth.

In this special episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Catherine Ratcliffe, the visionary host and founder of Canstays. Her story is one of courage, innovation, and the deep-rooted desire to create a platform that brings the Canadian STR community together. Moving from Ottawa to Florida and embarking on her own STR adventure, Catherine identified a critical gap in the Canadian market—a need for a conference that not only caters to Canadian operators but also celebrates the uniqueness of our industry. Canstays is her answer to that need. This conversation is an open invitation for you to learn directly from Catherine about the ethos of Canstays and the invaluable insights it promises to offer.

Diving into the complexities of pricing strategy and revenue management can often feel like navigating through a maze without a map. Yet, it remains one of the most pivotal aspects of running a successful accommodation business. It's why I'm particularly excited about this weeks episode. I had the pleasure of seeing John deRoulet speak at VRMA a couple of years ago, and it was not only a pleasure but super enlightening. I had many wow moments! Not only that, John is one of those characters in the STR industry that puts a smile on your face as soon as you see him. His ability to convey intricate concepts in an accessible manner is unparalleled. Understanding the nuances of revenue management is akin to uncovering hidden treasures within your operations, and John masterfully guides us through this journey.
