Oct 30, 2025
The Amadeus Hospitality Demand Generation Playbook outlines how hotels can move beyond short-term marketing tactics toward a fully integrated strategy that unites marketing, sales, and revenue management. It emphasizes data-driven decisions, digital optimization, and guest-centric engagement to build sustainable demand and long-term profitability.
Key takeaways
- Integrated approach: Success comes from aligning marketing, sales, and revenue teams to create a unified demand engine rather than isolated campaigns.
- Five-stage framework: The playbook defines a complete demand cycle — from market understanding and traveler attraction to engagement, booking, and post-stay loyalty.
- Data-driven insights: Predictive analytics, traveler segmentation, and real-time performance tracking enable smarter pricing and more precise targeting.
- Optimized digital presence: Hotels must strengthen their SEO, social, video, and metasearch strategies to guide guests from inspiration to direct booking across devices.
- Direct booking focus: A strong website, mobile-friendly booking engine, and exclusive offers help hotels reduce OTA dependency and increase profit margins.
- GDS as a strategic lever: Travel agent channels remain vital for corporate and group segments, offering global visibility and high-conversion bookings.
- Automation and AI: Automating repetitive tasks and leveraging machine learning enhances personalization, operational efficiency, and staff well-being.
- Loyalty beyond discounts: Personalized communication, member benefits, and consistent storytelling turn satisfied guests into long-term advocates.
- Core message: Demand generation is no longer just about filling rooms — it’s about creating a sustained cycle of awareness, engagement, and loyalty powered by data, technology, and collaboration.
