The First-Ever Global Report on Distribution is Here! https://lnkd.in/gG4_3-J8 Over the last few years, commercial teams have been increasingly driving technology decisions in hospitality. However, unlike other industries, leaders within hospitality have not had communities, forums, and benchmark reports to understand how to invest, where to invest, what to invest in. HEDNA, NYU SPS Tisch Center of Hospitality, and RateGain came together to address this unique problem in the first-ever State of Distribution Report, aimed at providing insights to hoteliers on what their peers are doing and how their teams are changing. This annual report will be released every year to help hoteliers make the right decisions, and be in-tune with technology trends of the industry. Inside the report, you'll discover: 1. Industry-first benchmarks for technology adoption and training. 2. Where hoteliers are trying to reduce their manual efforts 3. Where they are struggling, and what priorities do they have 4. How are hoteliers investing in technology We'd like to thank Chris, Leanne, Lina, April, Jason, Vanja, Nicolas G., Fritz, Pablo Martinez, Peter, Gomti, Kamesh, Barkha, Christiane, Marianna, Alex, Ryan, Mudasser, Rodrigo, Alexandra Koukoulian and Yogeesh for curating this report and working in getting inputs from over 140 unique brands.

#FutureFridays The days of convincing guests with one-on-one sales pitches are over. Today, Instagram, Facebook, and online reviews shape traveler decisions more than any salesperson ever could. As Alam Khan, VP of Sales at The Clarks Hotels & Resorts, explains, even travel agents now prioritize online ratings over direct recommendations. The real question isn’t what you say about your hotel—it’s what the internet says about you. In a world where travelers trust review scores, influencer posts, and digital word-of-mouth, hotels must rethink their approach. Are you influencing the right conversations? Are your ratings building confidence? The shift is massive—and it’s happening fast. #HospitalityTrends #HotelMarketing #OnlineReputation #TravelerBehavior #RateGain
