Here are the main topics that Short Stay Week will be covering:
Revenues & Sales
The holiday rental sector has been slower than hotels to adopt revenue management best practices. More than ever, all hosts must understand the importance of this discipline. There are many tools and tactics they can implement in order for their business performance to reach its best possible level. Professional trainers and experts from across Europe will share their insights.
#DirectBooking
OTAs play an important role in the vacation rental industry by getting our properties in front of millions of prospective guests and providing us with lots of bookings. However, there is now a significant and growing movement of property managers and companies worldwide towards reducing their reliance on these large third-party platforms.
In the pursuit of revenue diversification, many managers are exploring the path to direct bookings – thus reducing booking commissions with unrestricted guest communication and customized payment terms and booking conditions.
Operations and Guest Experience
Check-in and check-out and customer management have recently undergone profound changes, leading to an almost total digital experience. For this reason, it is crucial to identify and respond to our guests’ new requirements, before, during, and after their stay.
This part of the Short Stay Ween conference will focus on basic provisions, ancillary services, and ultra-personalized concierge-style technology to ensure our guests’ comfort. Attention will also be paid towards tools such as insurance products that protect hosts from problems like damage or theft while also protecting them against cancellations.
Technology and innovation
The Short Stay Week will see a number of experts from across the world anticipate future trends (e.g. digital guest experience and environmental sustainability) affecting the market and will further explain how we can innovate and develop our tech stack accordingly.
Management software, chatbot, home automation systems are just a few of the many tools to optimize processes and to improve our customer service.
Digital marketing for hospitality
This part of the conference is about social media, online strategies, and brand awareness, as ways to increase website traffic and generate more direct bookings. Sessions will also cover related topics such as social media engagement, storytelling, quality website content, positive user experience, and SEO campaigns.
Associations and Public Policies
The travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors are heavily influenced by decisions and policies made by local, national, and international governments. The Short Stay Week conference wants to bring together all the public and private figures that operate in this hospitality industry, scu has trade associations, hosts, local governments, national politicians.
