Palma, Spain, 30th September 2022 – As the summer has just come to an end, Hotelbeds presents today a round-up of the top 5 trends for this last summer. With rich data gathered from its unique position at the heart of the travel ecosystem, Hotelbeds can provide a complete picture of supply and demand.

Alberto Martellini, Commercial Intelligence Director, said: "Data is at the heart that drives Hotelbeds, and our unique position in the industry to collect it, as well as our teams' in-house expertise to analyse it, allows us to use it to take advantage of all the opportunities the market has to offer.

“We are very pleased to share the top 5 trends we have uncovered over the past few months to stay on top of how travellers are behaving and how markets are performing. We believe that by analysing the data we have pulled from this summer, which has certainly been a busy one, we can all benefit from seeing these insights and better prepare for what's coming next.”

Antalya, here we come! 

Some Mediterranean destinations, especially the Eastern area, have far exceeded 2019 volumes this summer. Cyprus, with +48%, followed by Turkey, with +33%, are the big winners this season in Europe. The city of Antalya alone has improved by +50% vs 2019, making it Hotelbeds’ best-selling destination for the summer! Travellers from the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Sweden have sought out the charms of the Turkish destination this season.

Other popular destinations were Rhodes (+30%), Malta (+26%) and Greece (+20%).

Latin America is booming

In recent months, Brazil has almost doubled its volumes, reaching +90%. Rio de Janeiro, its most in-demand destination, has quadrupled precovid volumes, and cities such as Brasilia, Fortaleza, Maceio and Curitiba have reached +300%.

In addition, Mexico has also grown considerably, with +50%. Peruvian travellers, followed by North Americans and Colombians, are the ones who have visited the country the most, travelling to cities such as Mexico City, Los Cabos or Acapulco.

Average daily rate soars

This summer, the average daily rate (ADR) has increased by +17%, hitting rates of over €600 per night in some of Hotelbeds’ top luxury destinations, such as Hawaii. Luxury hotels on the Amalfi Coast, Mykons and Maldives are up to €400 per night.

On the other hand, if more affordable destinations are sought, Rio de Janeiro and Bangkok are close to €60 per night.

Europeans are now booking well in advance

Although last minute was a strong trend since the pandemic unfolded, travellers from the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands are again making their reservations far in advance. Currently, these guests are booking an average of 4 months in advance of their arrival date. While in China, and much of APAC, travellers are still booking at the last minute, with an average of 10 days in advance.

Let's stay longer

It is well known that summer is a time to rest, which seems to be the reason why travellers heading to leisure destinations such as Antalya, Crete, Rhodes, Majorca or Algarve decide to stay longer than a week in their chosen location. The Turkish coastal district of Marmaris was where guests stayed the longest, with an average of 9 days.

Hotelbeds welcomes Pippa Williamson as new VP Commercial for APAC

Palma, Spain, 30th August 2021 – Hotelbeds has signed a ground-breaking destination marketing deal with iGA Istanbul Airport, the first of its kind for the travel-tech company.

With the creation of a new destination marketing segment to attract professional travel buyers, Hotelbeds is securing special promotional rates on hotels and transfers in Istanbul, while maximising the exposure of one of the world's busiest airports. In doing so, the company aims to offer its customers a new way to access the best prices and availability in the market, while engaging and educating the global travel industry about the services iGA Istanbul Airport offers to millions of FIT (Free independent travellers)&nbsp;leisure tourists.

"This exciting new partnership with iGA Istanbul Airport demonstrates the value of Hotelbeds as a marketing partner and the importance of engaging our B2B customers," said Joe Sheller, Head of Global Destination Marketing at Hotelbeds. "Through this campaign, in addition to our clients accessing promotional rates on hotels, activities and transfers in Istanbul, iGA will be able to maintain constant contact with the travel trade and inform them about shopping and dining at the airport, lounge features, the IGA PASS, Covid-19 updates and new flight routes.”

iGA Istanbul Airport opened in 2018 and quickly became the busiest airport in Europe. In 2021, the Turkish hub carried 37 million passengers, 27 million of them international, making it the second busiest airport in the world for international passenger traffic.

Majid Khan, iGA Istanbul Airport VP Aviation Development said: "We are delighted to be the first mega hub to enter into a partnership with Hotelbeds. iGA Istanbul Airport, despite having 12 destinations in the United States and 3 in Canada, is the only mega hub in Europe that is not directly served by a North American Airline. We are the largest airport in Europe, and we believe that the cooperation between Hotelbeds and iGA Istanbul Airport will increase awareness of our airport and Istanbul as a destination in North America, increasing US passenger traffic to this untapped market."

Joe Sheller added: “I would like to thank iGA for their forward-thinking strategy, as this is the first of many partnerships between Hotelbeds and an airport. This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter in Hotelbeds' destination marketing as we continue to expand our value proposition to ever wider segments of the travel industry."

Running until the end of December, the campaign will be promoted through the company's two main distribution channels targeting Bedsonline's retail travel advisors and Hotelbeds' strategic customers in the United States.

Hotelbeds dives into new segment with  first ever airport partnership

Palma, Spain, 17th August 2022 – Bedsonline's latest figures show that booking demand is stronger than ever, with a 117% increase in global bookings for 2022 financial year compared to the same period in 2019. As international tourist arrivals continue to grow as the latest travel restrictions are lifted, Bedsonline provides its clients with the best tools to support the growth of the more than 60,000 travel consultants around the world who work with the company.

Taking to account the needs of its partners to manage this growing demand for the summer, Bedsonline booking engine speaks to their understanding of market requirements, as well as their command of technology: powered by a proprietary algorithm, the booking engine seamlessly pairs the best hotels from an expansive, 300,000-strong portfolio to an advisor’s unique query, considering the criteria that matches the right experience to the end client. A wide variety of filters – ranging from board basis to sustainability credentials - enables advisors to put the client’s preferences at the centre of every consultation, while further options (such as free cancellation, partial cancellation, non-refundable bookings and current promotions) offer reassurance and satisfy a desire for greater flexibility.

Through the Bedsonline booking engine, travel advisors can book not only accommodation, but also ancillary services to their bookings. From car rental to private transfers, theme park tickets and activities, Bedsonline offers its customers the possibility to book everything in one place.

“We are constantly working to enhance our clients experience through our booking engine. Is with that in mind, and to ensure advisors are compensated fairly for their efforts, that we've given control to advisors to add a customized fee (adjustable to a maximum of $999.99) to their bookings.&nbsp; The fee – applicable on a quote-by-quote basis, or to all future bookings at the click of a button – doesn’t just enable advisors to boost their income: it allows them to tailor the customer experience as appropriate” said Bertrand Sava, General Manager for&nbsp;Retail&nbsp;at Hotelbeds, the parent company of Bedsonline.

To get the most out of every booking, Bedsonline also has its award-winning marketing and trends tool exclusively for its customers, The Compass. Offering insights, with real-time global data revealing emerging trends which are then tailored to its user, based on what it can learn about their typical booking habits, The Compass makes it easier than ever for advisors to identify the right destinations to offer to their clients at the best possible time.

Indeed, the Flyer Creator tool – available to use from within The Compass and on other landing pages across the Bedsonline website – is an effective way for advisors to promote their product with minimal effort and at zero cost.&nbsp; "Our aim to make it very simple and easy to use. In under five minutes, advisors can craft attractive marketing materials complete with their own branding, unique disclaimers and up to eight hotels before saving the flyer, and sending it to the clients from within the tool itself" added Bertrand. &nbsp;

And with comfort and ease for its customers at the forefront, the company has simplified the way travel professionals can solve problems by introducing self-service tools.

Accessible via the Bedsonline website, the SelfSeT toolkit saves advisors time by allowing them to manage and modify bookings at their own convenience. From adding special requests at any time, adding or removing room nights, to a flexible cancellation tool, travel advisors can now manage their bookings easier than ever before.

&nbsp;

About Bedsonline

Bedsonline&nbsp;is the leading global provider of accommodation and complementary travel products exclusively catering to travel agents. Through its online platform, it distributes accommodation, excursions, tickets and transfers to more than 60,000 travel agencies backed by local sales teams in over 30 countries covering over 100 markets globally.

Bedsonline supports its clients in the face of soaring booking demand

Palma, Spain, 21st July 2022 – Hotelbeds has today announced its new Environmental, Social and Governance strategy, which aims, as Hotelbeds’ CEO Nicolas Huss describes, "to take Hotelbeds' position on ESG to the next level and galvanise our commitment to making travel a force for good”.

This commitment is not a new one for Hotelbeds, with a range of ESG related initiatives already under its belt, including:


	Signing up to The Climate Pledge – the first B2B travel company to do so;
	Achieving carbon neutral status for over four years consecutively;
	Its Green Hotels Programme and
	Its on-going support for Ukraine through its Make Room 4 Ukraine programme.


It also reacted quickly during the pandemic, moving its volunteering activities for employees online to support a wide range of NGOs and groups supporting vulnerable communities around the world.

Nicolas Huss explains that "as one of the world's leading travel technology companies, we have the opportunity to make tourism a force for good and contribute to creating a sustainable future. We are committed to supporting and developing green tourism and to continue to reduce the environmental impact of our daily operations and offices, while also supporting our partners to achieve their own ESG goals.

"Another important part of our strategy is to make sure we lead our ESG agenda from the front, ensuring our employees can contribute themselves to creating a stronger and healthier society as well as supporting local communities to thrive and progress. Furthermore, our wellbeing programme, which is embedded in our culture, is one of our key tools to support our people on their journey towards happiness and work-life balance."

“From a governance perspective, although we know we have more work to do, we have achieved 50% of our executive team being women, reflecting our determination to have an inclusive and diverse workplace.”

Among the initiatives Hotelbeds plans to launch in the coming year, working with a range of NGOs, is a global reforestation project and a mentoring scheme for small scale or startup businesses, especially those with a focus on sustainable travel.

It also plans to harness the commitment of its hotel partners to sustainability issues, with booking filters identifying hotels that avoid single use plastics, for example, or who offer electric charging points for vehicles – tapping into the knowledge that these requirements are becoming increasingly important to the travellers of today.

And as part of its wider strategy launch, the company also announced to its employees this week an increase in the number of volunteer hours it will match, demonstrating its belief that the teams at Hotelbeds are passionate about making a difference in the communities where they live and work.

Palma, Spain, 17th June 2022 – After reaffirming its commitment with Türkiye, Hotelbeds has scooped the "Best Managed QM Global Sourcing and Distribution Technology" award at the Quality Management Awards 2022 for the second year in a row.

Considered by many to be the "Oscars of the Turkish tourism industry", the QM Awards were held at the Megasaray Westbeach Hotel in Antalya on June 11th, where many of the country's leading tourism companies gathered to be the first to know who would be chosen as "Best in Tourism" in this year's ten categories.

For more than ten years, the QM Awards have given recognition and appreciation to tourism professionals; investments and investors; regions; tour operators; agencies; subcontractors; individuals; institutions; and private enterprises of Türkiye, making the awards the most comprehensive of their kind in the country.

Hotelbeds’ Regional Manager for Türkiye,&nbsp;Arzu Harley, attended the event to collect the award&nbsp;and said: “We are very happy to receive this honour for the second year in a row. Our business line in Türkiye is experiencing one of its best moments and we are committed to keeping up the momentum to further expand our brand. We are also proud to continue supporting our partners and clients in their growth, because at Hotelbeds we believe that if our clients grow, we grow. A big thank you to all the travel professionals who have voted and continue to place their trust in us!”

Hotelbeds named “Best Managed Global Sourcing and Distribution Technology” at the QM awards

Palma, Spain, 16th June 2022 – Hotelbeds has recently announced strong demand for Türkiye. In the last 4 weeks, the volume of bookings has doubled compared to the same period in 2019, bringing more than one million international visitors to the country in 2022.

To celebrate this success and to reinforce the company's commitment to Türkiye, Hotelbeds CEO Nicolas Huss – accompanied by CCO Carlos Muñoz, Commercial Director Jorge Cortés and Regional Sourcing Director Jaime Amengual – visited the country at the beginning of June. During their stay, they were able to organise key strategic meetings with the Turkish Minister of Tourism and Culture and the leaders of the TGA (Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency), as well as with the Hotel Association of Türkiye (TÜROB) and several hotel partners.

Hotelbeds CEO Nicolas Huss said: "It was a great honor to be received by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, Mr. Mehmet Nuri Ersoy and the TGA. We are very grateful for the opportunity to speak about our full commitment to the development of the destination and our plans for growth in the coming years. It was great to discuss the future of sustainability in travel as we explored different ways of collaboration.

"We are also really pleased with the meeting we had with Ms. Müberra Eresin, President of TÜROB, and her team, where we were able to talk about Hotelbeds' plans in Türkiye as we continue to grow together. At another meeting with AKTOB President Erkan Yağcı and his team, we were able to exchange valuable information about Antalya’s Trends in Tourism."

Nicolas accepted the invitation of AKTOB President Erkan Yağcı to be the keynote speaker at the 12th Resort Tourism Congress in Antalya in November. He said: "I am looking forward to participating in the Resort Congress and seeing all our Turkish suppliers again very soon."

While Hotelbeds’ senior leadership team was in the country, and together with the local team led by Country Manager Arzu Harley, the company held two valuable events with hoteliers in Antalya and Istanbul.

Carlos Muñoz, Chief Commercial Officer at Hotelbeds said: "We are thrilled to be able to meet face to face with hoteliers again and are very happy with the response we have received. At the Antalya event at the Nirvana Cosmopolitan Hotel, part of the KILIT Hospitality Group – Türkiye's biggest leisure hotel chain, operating Nirvana and Crystal brands and Hotelbeds’ longstanding partner – over 200 people attended. These opportunities to get together with our suppliers are essential to reconnect and listen to their needs firsthand so that we can provide them with the best possible service.”

Hotelbeds reaffirms its commitment to Türkiye

Palma, Spain, 11th May 2022 – Hotelbeds has just announced a partnership to distribute its full hotel and car rental portfolio on Xeni, a B2B service offering a complete white label travel booking and payments platform.

Xeni users – which include small to medium-sized leisure agencies, experience sellers cross-selling travel and organisations seeking discounted travel for their community – will gain access to 300,000 hotels and 500 car rental providers that are part of the Hotelbeds portfolio.&nbsp;

“Through this agreement, we will further increase our reach of hard-to-access B2B buyers, while Xeni will expand its product selection to allow its B2B clients to create their own packages and trips, including flights, hotels and cars” says Leon Herce, Core Commercial Director at Hotelbeds. He adds that: “we are very excited to distribute our extensive portfolio of hotel and car rental products through the platform and look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with Xeni in the future.”

Besides accessing great content available at net rates, the users of the Xeni platform benefit from full freedom over commissions with no debit memos, commission shares, clawbacks, or limits; an integrated and simplified payment solution; a no-code required implementation that takes minutes; and a self-branded booking engine.

Sachin Narode, CEO of Xeni, added: “Travel agents and experience-sellers want to focus on their expertise and client network.&nbsp; Today, they are distracted by problems accessing wholesale inventory, creating an online experience for travelers, and manually performing administrative tasks.&nbsp; By providing smaller organizations with the complete travel booking platform they need, we are democratizing the ability to resell travel online. We’re very excited to expand our partnership with Hotelbeds to enhance our inventory selection at best-in-industry prices for our users around the world.”
