The Airbnb effect on hotels – experiences, tech provision and convergence

By ASAP Newsdesk On 20th February 2017 · Add Comment · In Airbnb, Breaking News, Insights, Sharing Economy, technology, Trending News

Airbnb successfully stays one step ahead of trends and understands the needs and wishes of the millennial consumer, losing hotels an estimated $450 million in direct revenues per year to Airbnb.

Three predictions for 2017 trends in the hospitality sector that should be important to hotels:

Experiences – important to 78% of respondents in a recent survey. “Location, location, location” is giving way to “neighbourhood, neighbourhood, neighbourhood”.
The adoption and advance of simple yet efficient technology.
The convergence of hotels and Airbnb.
