But, while it represents a significant opportunity for hotels, there are other countries out there that have also been growing rapidly and should not be overlooked. As part of its recent Emerging Consumer Survey 2015, Credit Suisse highlighted the countries, as well as China, with a new segment of the population which now has the means and the desire to travel.

HealthCheck offers a unique free marketing analysis tool to help hotels assess their online presence

Digital marketing for hotels is complex. In an ideal world every hotel would like 100% of their online bookings to be made directly with the hotel via their website, mobile website or via their Facebook page. The reality however is that this is almost never possible unless you are the only operator in town. Most hotels will therefore use third party distributors like OTAs or the GDS network to complement their direct sales efforts, and then work to get a good balance between them.
