In addition, software to assist the sector’s SMEs become more competitive by digitalising and automating human resources tasks and processes.
 
Payment systems, one of the most revolutionised segments in recent years and one that has changed the customer experience, will also have its place at FITUR TRAVEL TECHNOLOGY. Among the technological developments to be seen in this area is an innovative method of deferred payment in hospitality, which can be activated directly in the booking engine or CRM so that it can be easily used and which can also integrate a BNPL option (Buy Now Pay Later).
 
Platforms and booking engines
 
The way travellers manage hotel bookings has changed in recent years with a growing presence of smart booking systems, virtual assistants, Artificial Intelligence or augmented reality. The crucial role of these developments is an opportunity for technology companies that want to become an indispensable partner for hoteliers, holiday rental managers and B&B owners. That's why, among the many innovative developments to be presented at the show, is an optimised booking engine that multiplies direct bookings with dynamic pricing tools, suggesting rates based on demand, seasonality and competition and increasing occupancy and revenue.
 
It will also be possible to test the operation of a platform that acts as a permanently active price manager and also allows for manual price intervention and control, thus ensuring that the hotel rooms are priced correctly each night. This product, designed specifically for the independent hotelier, is quick to implement, intuitive to use, easy to understand and completely transparent. It also saves time comparing rates with competitors and will ensure that they never miss a potential sale.
 
In short, FITUR TRAVEL TECHNOLOGY 2024 will be THE place where international and Spanish companies and experts will present cutting-edge solutions that, in addition to improving and optimising the traveller's experience, promote specialisation, marketing and monitoring the results of sector companies.
