The core issue is dependency on "rented demand" through third-party platforms, versus developing "owned demand" through direct, permission-based guest relationships. Rented demand is structurally constrained, lacking ownership.

Per Day Pricing or Occupancy Based Pricing? The impact of connectivity on your revenue strategy (Part 1)

🌐 In 2026, the hotel industry faces a choice between Per Day Pricing (PDP) and Occupancy Based Pricing (OBP). PDP, the traditional model, uses a base rate to auto-calculate prices for different occupancies, offering speed but limited flexibility. OBP provides independent pricing for each occupancy, allowing precision but requiring significant data management. A PDP setup might handle 10 base prices, while OBP deals with 160 prices, reflecting a balance between efficiency and control. €54,000 in potential high-season revenue hinges on this choice.

Sustainability is Everywhere: Except in Hospitality Culture

🏨 Hospitality industry faces sustainability challenges. Over 40 years, sustainability frameworks like Green Key, LEED, and EarthCheck expanded, yet practical integration lags (UNWTO, 2021; WTTC, 2022). Deloitte (2023) and McKinsey (2021) report low employee engagement due to unaligned tasks and lack of impact visibility. Sustainability actions, often treated as transactional, fail to become cultural, as noted by Harvard Business Review (2018). Leaders must embed sustainability into daily activities to achieve meaningful change.
