    Why The Data Accuracy Problem Quickly Becomes an AI Process Problem

    AI is everywhere in hospitality right now - but is your hotel actually ready for it, or are you just bolting new tech onto old problems? In this episode, I talk with Peter Brauer of Get Into More (https://www.getintomore.com/) to break down what genuine AI-readiness looks like for hotels and hotel groups.We dig into the three things that matter more than any tool: your people, your data, and your processes - and why skipping the groundwork means AI just amplifies whatever's already broken. Peter shares the red flags that signal a hotel's data reflects broken process rather than market reality, and his honest take on whether compromised historical data should be a dealbreaker. ──────────────────────────────🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES──────────────────────────────🌐 Website — https://www.getintomore.com/🌐 Website — https://revenue-hub.com💼 LinkedIn — https://linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub ──────────────────────────────💬 ENJOYED THIS?

    Is Your Hotel Ready for AI or Are You About to Automate Broken Processes?

    Is your hotel actually ready for AI - or are you about to automate broken processes even faster? In this episode, I talk with Willem Rabsztyn, CEO of Bookboost, to unpack what AI readiness really means for hotels and hotel groups. From data silos to security guardrails to spotting genuine AI value versus pitch-deck buzzwords, Willem breaks down the foundations every property needs before deploying AI at scale. What You'll Learn● Why unifying guest data is the real first step before any AI rollout● The security risks of giving AI agents unrestricted API access● How to shift staff mindset from “clicking buttons” to prompting agents● Why messy data is usually a silo problem, not a “bad data” problem● The three levels of AI maturity (and Willem's “protein powder” analogy)● How to test whether a tech solution's “AI” is real or just marketing● What commercial and operational foundations hotels need for the next 3–5 years ──────────────────────────────🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES──────────────────────────────🌐 Website — https://www.bookboost.io/🌐 Website — https://revenue-hub.com💼 LinkedIn — https://linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub ──────────────────────────────💬 ENJOYED THIS?

    AI Can’t Fix Ineffective People, Tools or Processes, But Will Magnify Any Problems

    In this episode, Trevor Grant sits down with Firas Moolla from HotelIQ (www.hoteliq.io) to unpack what “AI readiness” actually looks like in hotel commercial operations, why data quality quietly underpins everything, and why the smartest hoteliers fix their fundamentals before they buy another tool. They cover the “three-legged stool” of people, tools, and processes, why geographic source market data is the ultimate stress test for a hotel's operations, how to incentivize front desk teams to capture better data, how long a real data clean-up actually takes, and what an honest AI readiness assessment looks like in practice. Whether you're a GM, revenue leader, or hotel owner exploring AI vendors, this conversation will help you ask better questions before you sign anything. ──────────────────────────────🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES──────────────────────────────🌐 Website — https://www.hoteliq.io/🌐 Website — https://revenue-hub.com💼 LinkedIn — https://linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub ──────────────────────────────💬 ENJOYED THIS?

    AI Isn't a Magic Fix for Hotel Marketing, But It Is Changing the Rules

    or the last couple of years, AI has been sold to the hotel industry as a silver bullet. In a recent conversation with Tristan Heaword of digital marketing agency three&six, one of our Expert Partners, I put that assumption to the test - and the answer was refreshingly honest: AI won't fix a broken hotel. It will amplify whatever is already there, good or bad. ──────────────────────────────🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES──────────────────────────────🌐 Website — www.threeandsix.agency/🌐 Website — www.revenue-hub.com💼 LinkedIn — www.linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub ──────────────────────────────💬 ENJOYED THIS?

    Fix your fundamentals first 👷🏻‍♂️AI can't recommend what it can't find 🔍👀

    AI is changing how travellers discover and book hotels — but is your property actually set up to take advantage of it? In this episode, I talk with hotel SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) specialist Stephanie Smith of Cogwheel to break down what hoteliers need to get right before chasing the AI hype. From content and reviews to persona-led marketing, MCP connections, and why ROAS is the wrong metric altogether - this is a no-nonsense look at what's actually driving AI visibility in 2026. 🔗  LINKS🌐 Website — www.revenue-hub.com💼 LinkedIn — www.linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub #hotelmarketing #GEO  #GenerativeEngineOptimization  #HotelSEO  #AIinTravel  #HospitalityMarketing  #DigitalMarketing  #ChatGPT  #HotelTech  #TravelTech  #SEO  #AIStrategy  #HotelDiscoverability  #MarketingPodcast

    AI Amplifies What Works 💪🏻 It Doesn't Fix What's Broken ⛓️‍💥

    Are hotels getting seduced by AI promises before they've sorted the basics? In this conversation, digital acquisition expert Hicham Benyebdri of Userguest, cuts through the hype - explaining why no amount of AI-powered advertising will save a hotel with a broken booking path, weak conversion rate, or poor reviews. We also get into how hotels can realistically compete with OTAs on their own turf, why paid platforms like Google and Meta aren't always working in your favour, and how the smartest hotels are using AI to read market signals and pivot faster than their competitors. If you're a hotelier or work in hotel marketing, this one is worth your time. Topics covered:➡️ Getting your digital foundations right before investing in AI➡️ How AI fits into paid acquisition strategy➡️ Where hotels commonly misfire with automated campaigns➡️ Competing with OTAs for direct bookings➡️ How traveller booking behaviour is shifting➡️ Using AI to respond faster to changing market conditions 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES🌐 Website — www.revenue-hub.com💼 LinkedIn — www.linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub #HotelMarketing #DirectBookings #HospitalityTech #AI #DigitalMarketing #HotelIndustry #HotelTech #RevenueManagement #OTA #BookingEngine #HospitalityMarketing #DirectBooking #TravelTech #HotelStrategy

    3+3+3 Ep2: Personalised Pricing, Always On and Booking Decline

    The hotel industry is at a crossroads. In our latest conversation, we tackled three issues that could reshape how we drive revenue and lead our teams (you can also watch the discussion on YouTube - https://youtu.be/phyPUpQQM4k):🔹 Personalised Pricing Is it the next big leap - or a guest trust disaster waiting to happen? Airlines and retail are moving fast, but are hotels really ready for true 1:1 pricing? Or is sharper segmentation + attribute-based selling a safer path?🔹 The “Always-On” Culture Revenue never sleeps - but do we? The pressure to be constantly available may feel like strength, but in reality, it’s a recipe for burnout and poor decisions. The leaders winning today are focusing on output over input and drawing clear boundaries around what counts as an “emergency.”🔹 Booking.com Losing Share We’re seeing Booking.com production slipping in some markets, with growth shifting toward Expedia and direct. Is it dilution (apartments flooding the platform)? Legal and EU pressure? Or a sign that hotels are finally clawing back some control?👉 The takeaways: Experiment with personalisation, but keep fairness + transparency at the core. Protect your teams (and yourself) by setting boundaries - performance > hours online. Diversify your distribution mix now. The OTA landscape is shifting faster than most realise. 🔥 Question for you:Would you trial true personalised pricing if the technology existed - and how would you keep it fair for your guests?👇 Share your thoughts - we’d love to hear how you’re tackling these challenges in your hotels.#HotelRevenue #RevenueManagement #DirectBookings #OTAStrategy #PersonalisedPricing #AttributeBasedSelling #HospitalityLeadership #WorkLifeBalance #AIinHospitality #Bookingcom #Expedia #HotelMarketing #DistributionStrategy #PMS #RMS #HotelDistribution
