If you could give one piece of advice to hoteliers looking to drive more direct bookings, what would it be?

Regardless of whether you are part of a group or an independent hotel, building a brand will pay rich dividends.

What's the most creative way you've seen a hotel use guest messaging or email marketing?

If you were a hotel amenity, what would you be and why?

I’d be the gym/fitness centre. People are intentional when they walk into these and they always walk out feeling great for having taken the time to invest in themselves.
