Hotelogix, a global leader in
cloud-based hospitality technology, has launched an hourly booking module
designed to help hotels optimize revenue streams while offering flexible
check-in and check-out times to meet the evolving needs of modern travelers. This
new feature enables hotels worldwide to provide guests with the option to book
rooms and pay only for the hours they use, making accommodations more
affordable.
As travelers increasingly
prioritize flexibility and cost-effectiveness, the hourly hotel booking segment
has experienced significant growth. Valued at $16.67 billion in 2019, the
segment is projected to reach $25.62 billion by 2027. Countries such as the
United States, the United Kingdom, India, the Philippines, and other Southeast
Asian nations are witnessing a surge in demand for hourly stays. This model
caters to guests seeking short-term accommodations for various purposes, such
as resting during layovers, catching up on work, or recharging during busy
schedules—all while saving up to 60% on accommodation costs. Airport hotels,
transit hotels, business hotels, capsule hotels, and love hotels are
increasingly adopting this short-stay concept.
With Hotelogix PMS's Hourly
Booking feature, hotels can go beyond simply offering rooms by the hour.
They can also apply packages, provide discounts, and extend late check-out
options. Additionally, Hotelogix has introduced a custom reporting feature,
allowing hotels to track key metrics such as revenue streams and guest sources.
These insights help hotels analyze trends, make data-driven decisions, and
refine their revenue strategies.
"The hourly booking feature
will transform how hotels enhance occupancy and optimize revenue potential
while addressing the changing needs of today’s travelers. This innovation
places us ahead of competitors and unlocks exciting new market opportunities.
Hotels can now move beyond outdated solutions that hinder operational
efficiency," said Aditya Sanghi, CEO of Hotelogix.
Highlighting the value of the
feature, Alexander Asuncion, Senior Executive of GCGC in the Philippines and
COO & Business Unit Head of Global Officium Limited Inc. (GOLI), shared:
"Selling rooms by the hour is critical for our portfolio of hotels. It
allows us to serve a market segment that values affordability, exceptional
guest experiences, and superior customer service."
GCGC, which manages over 60
properties with more than 8,000 rooms under brands like Hotel Sogo, Eurotel,
Apo View Hotel, DreamWorld, and Astrotel, has benefited significantly as an
early adopter of Hotelogix's hourly booking features. The group has recorded an
average of over 750 hourly bookings per month, with each booking lasting
approximately six hours. This approach has resulted in a 40% increase in
revenue per room.
