Sarah Blaney interviews Thomas Landen, the CMO of RoomPrice Genie, a pricing automation system for hotels and short-stay rentals. Thomas discusses the global reach of their company, which is based in Amsterdam but operates remotely with teams all over the world. He explains how RoomPrice Genie helps hotels optimise their prices based on market demand, competition, and internal factors. Thomas also shares insights on the current state of the hotel industry, the growing trend of dynamic pricing, and the blurring lines between hotels and apartments. KEY TAKEAWAYS RoomPrice Genie is a pricing automation system that helps hotels, apartments, and short-stay rentals optimise their prices based on market demand, internal factors, and competition. The rise of digital nomads and remote workers is a growing trend in the industry, leading to an increased demand for flexible accommodations like apartments. The line between hotels and apartments is blurring, with new concepts emerging that offer a mix of hotel-like services and apartment-style accommodations. Technology plays a significant role in the industry, making it easier for operators to manage their properties remotely and provide a seamless guest experience. However, the personal touch and hospitality are still crucial for guest satisfaction. BEST MOMENTS “I'm always a little disappointed by the whole tech forward companies." "We must remember that this is a hospitality industry and being a host is one of the most important things, not necessarily always in person, but the experience that you give." "And I think there's the frustration of like going to a chatbot and just talking to a robot and not going anywhere is worse than anything you can... Yeah, that's not a place where we should focus on." "And that is always what makes and breaks his day, in my opinion."
