Match and book Hotels through the principle of online dating
Why MyHotelMatch will take over the OTA market
GUEST paradox
- Choosing hotel by price, location and picture is like a BLIND DATE – Choice by physical aspects with no knowledge of personality.
- No insight beyond what the eye can see, employee profiles, experience levels, age etc.
- Limited possibility to share personal data with hotels so they can prepare for your visit
- Search based on price and pictures, not mood, preferences or purpose of travel
- No idea what kind of guest stays in the hotel, nationality, age group etc.
- Not possible to interact with the hotel before making final decision
HOTEL paradox
- No chance to interact with potential guest before booking is done
- Hotels can't choose their guests
- High commission paid for three main booking engines
- Try working around OTA's rate parity clause
- Held hostage by review sites which takes up valuable management time
- No knowledge about guests' purpose of travel and preferences
- Only showing their "looks" without personality and inner beauty(employees, experience, type of guests, nationality, age group )
Platform to hunt for guests
