La economía de la personalización: una oportunidad de oro aún por explotar

🏨 Aerolíneas y cruceros ganan hasta un 40% de sus ingresos por servicios personalizados, mientras que la hotelería apenas alcanza un 4%. Con un mercado de personalización hotelera generando cerca de 3.000 millones de dólares anuales, el sector podría octuplicar su facturación en esta área si iguala las cuotas de industrias adyacentes. Fermín Carmona, CEO de Hotelverse, señala la falta de personalización real en reservas y la fragmentación de la industria como barreras clave. Nuevas estrategias como add-ons personalizables, selección de número de habitación y venta de experiencias externas podrían incrementar la facturación hasta un 10%, 5% y 5% adicional respectivamente. Los sistemas de pujas dinámicas para el upselling prometen optimizar ingresos y la integración con PMS y motores de reserva facilita su implementación. El sector hotelero tiene el potencial de llegar a un 35% de ingresos por personalización.
