The second edition of the Indian Accommodation Barometer shows that a vast majority of the properties surveyed (79%) – be they a local one-of-a-kind boutique, franchisee of a global chain, or any other type of accommodation – agreed that listing on digital platforms increases their total number of bookings. In essence, online travel agencies help improve occupancy rates by addressing a fundamental issue for hoteliers: the perishable nature of an unsold room.
