Did you miss the most recent Shiji Buzz webinar all about hotel performance during the Paris Olympics? André Baljeu from techtalk.travel, Blake Reiter from Lighthouse and Bruno Saragat from Shiji ReviewPro participated in a lively discussion about how Parisian hotels fared during the event, particularly around dynamic pricing, short-term rental influence, and general guest satisfaction. The key takeaways: 🔹 Mid-tier hotels overestimated demand, leading to significant price drops in the months leading up to the games.   🔹 Short-term rentals surged, offering more competitive pricing and drawing potential guests away from hotels.   🔹 Luxury hotels maintained stronger pricing due to their less price-sensitive clientele, but hidden fees hurt guest satisfaction.   🔹 Guest satisfaction was high overall, but many mid-tier guests felt they did not receive good value for the money paid.   🔹 A flexible and transparent pricing strategy is essential for hoteliers, particularly during large-scale events where demand can be unpredictable.
