Bookassist

In this episode Bookassist CEO Dr Des O'Mahony talks with Eveanna Ryan (Group Sales and Marketing Manager) and Sarah Comer (Group Revenue Manager) of Connacht Hospitality Group in Galway, Ireland. The team discuss how their very successful direct booking strategy has evolved through the pandemic, for example:

  • how OTA business has been more than halved in favour of direct, 
  • how they leverage data and technology, 
  • how their hotels always lead with best price guarantee and their unique selling points to attract direct bookers, and 
  • how sustainability is increasing used as a differentiator in the marketplace.
